Alessandro Ghinelli, Mayor of Arezzo

Engineering students were just one of the many summer groups at #ouinarezzo in 2017. They took part in a special project with the mayor of Arezzo, Alessandro Ghinelli and his staff. The students worked in groups to design and present an innovative mobile app for the city of Arezzo! 

The mayor of Arezzo visited Norman in 2018 and met with Lynne Miller - Norman Mayor - to discuss the impact that OU in Arezzo has had in fostering  collaboration between these two “sister cities.”
