Hitz,+Marianne



I was an Amity student in 88/89. Back to Switzerland (in August 89) I went back to university and have been teaching languages in a public school until 2002. I met my husband in 2001 in Italy and moved to Livorno in 2002. Since then, I live here, in Tuscany. I teach German as a foreign language and work more and more as a translator. We were married this January (photo). There were two former UW-La Crosse students are our wedding: Sasikala Perumal and Véronique Gey (from the university of Caen)! We’ve always kept in touch and I was happy that they were able to come (Sasi from Slovenia, Véro from France).

In addition to them, I still hear sometimes from Karin Sandvik (library) and from Silvia Torres (Amity as well). I have many good memories about the Amity year: the housemates, the university (I worked with Dean Stroud and collaborated with the French professors, too) and the many parties.

I’ve been back to La Crosse twice, once for Sasi’s wedding, once just for a visit. Since I always came during summer of Christmas break, I couldn’t come to the department.
