<\/div><\/div>[divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”32″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]My name is Lando Pieroni, and I’m thrilled to be serving as your admission counselor. Growing up in Florence, Italy amid the city’s rich tapestry of history and art, I developed a deep appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives. This passion led me to pursue a B.A. in psychology and two minors in art history and cultural heritage and preservation studies from Wake Forest University, where I discovered the profound impact of a liberal arts education.<\/p>\n

At Eckerd College, I am privileged to guide students through the exciting process of exploring our vibrant academic community. I’m genuinely excited about the benefits of a liberal arts education<\/a> and how it fosters critical thinking, creativity, and adaptability\u2014skills that are essential for success in today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n

Having grown up in Italy, I understand the value of an international perspective and the transformative power of higher education. I am committed to helping students discover how Eckerd College can be the perfect fit for their academic and personal growth. Whether it’s discussing our innovative academic programs<\/a> and\u00a0study abroad<\/a>\u00a0opportunities, our supportive community, or the beautiful campus here in St. Petersburg, Florida, I’m here to help students find their place and thrive.<\/p>\n

Outside of work, I enjoy playing in a bluegrass band with some of our Eckerd professors, birding, and climbing at our local rock climbing gym.<\/p>\n

Let’s connect and explore how Eckerd College can be the launching pad for your future success. I look forward to meeting you!<\/p>\n
