Andy is the Associate Director for Professional Development, Academic Affairs, and Community Engagement for the Emma Bloomberg Center on campus.

Anna Cellinese joined the department of French and Italian in 2016. She received her M.A. and Ph.D. in Italian from Stanford University where she also taught and coordinated the Italian language program. She has published articles on Fenoglio and Pavese as well as on popular culture and language pedagogy. Her research delves into different aspects of pedagogy and second language acquisition: from Transformative Learning Theory to Social Justice in the language classroom, from writing development in higher education to language acquisition through special learning dis/ability. At Princeton, Anna founded the Summer Immersion program in Pisa, Italy, in collaboration with the distinguished "Scuola Normale Superiore". The program offers a full immersion experience and allows students to interact with the territory on a linguistic, cultural, and social level. In light of the transitional nature of the 21st century and its fast technological pace, Anna has designed and launched an Italian digital platform that provides a dynamic and flexible approach to language acquisition suited to the well-versed minds of Princeton students. Her book "Voci italiane: Contemporary Readings for Intermediate to Advanced Students" presents a series of calibrated and thought-provoking readings by Italian authors of the XXI century who are seen as inconvenient, disobedient, provocative, and visionary. Being a former ballet dancer, Anna enjoys conversations about all forms of art and self-expression.

Joe Stephens is the founding director of the Program in Journalism and a Ferris Professor of Journalism in Residence.
A veteran investigative reporter, he is a three-time winner of the George Polk Award and a three-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Stephens was a member of The Washington Post staff in 2002, when it was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting, for coverage of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Stephens joined the Post in 1999, where he was a member of the investigative projects team for nearly two decades. He has written extensively on presidential politics, political corruption, the war against terrorism, Afghan reconstruction, the federal judiciary, and drug experiments conducted on children in the developing world.
He has reported and lectured in Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America, and across the U.S. His stories have led to Congressional hearings, national legislative reforms, criminal convictions, and millions of dollars in fines.
Stephens has won more than a dozen other national honors, including top awards from the Overseas Press Club, the Gerald Loeb Foundation, the Society of Professional Journalists, the Scripps Howard Foundation, Investigative Reporters and Editors, and the Annie E. Casey Foundation.
He has been a finalist on multiple occasions for Harvard's Goldsmith Prize, the Gerald Loeb award for financial reporting, and the Investigative Reporters and Editors award. Stephens has judged many major contests, and served on Pulitzer Prize juries in 2019 (Criticism) and 2020 (Investigative Reporting). He serves on the board of the Fund for Investigative Journalism.
Since 2014, Stephens has directed and moderated the University's Newsmaker Dinner series, a public affairs discussion group (formerly known as the Walter Lord Society). In 2016, he was named Faculty in Residence at Mathey College.
Stephens believes that the best journalism flows from research and analysis conducted before the first question is asked. He teaches core courses in investigative reporting and news literacy. He has led numerous reporting trips with students to document conditions and life stories in refugee camps and squats in Europe; journalism from those expeditions has been published around the country and broad, including in the international edition of The New York Times.
