Graduate student Zixiao Huang is one of the five recipients of the Kress Fellowship, awarded each year by the Middlebury Language Schools. In the summer of 2023, Huang will have the opportunity to take part in an immersive Italian language program in Vermont, enhancing his Italian linguistic skill. Completing this program will aide him in further developing his research on the artistic communication between Venice and China. Huang will start conducting research in Venetian archives and libraries in 2024. To learn more about the the Kress Fellowship, visit theĀ Middlebury Language Schools website.
