Anthony Viola

Fulbright University of St Andrews Summer Institute

Anthony Viola was born on Long Island and grew up in the small town of Altamont, New York. After graduating high school, he served four years in the Air Force before returning to pursue his education. He is now a sophomore at Syracuse University studying Information Management and Technology with a concentration in Information Security. On campus, he works at the Syracuse University Office of Veteran Success and is a member of the Student Veterans Organization.

Outside of academics, Anthony enjoys hiking with his dog, spending time with friends and family, and attending live entertainment such as orchestras, plays, and musicals. He has always had a deep passion for history, and growing up attending his local Scottish games every summer instilled in him a lasting appreciation for Scotland's people, culture, and identity.

At the University of St Andrews, Anthony is excited to experience Scottish life firsthand - from its iconic landscapes to the historical events that shaped the nation into what it is today. He looks forward to getting to know his fellow participants and making the most of this opportunity alongside them.
