Welcome to Mac, our new Program Associate

Civitella Ranieri Foundation's New York office is happy to welcome Mac Walton as our new Program Associate. The Program Associate is the principle contact for Fellows in booking their travel and learning about the specifics of their upcoming stay at the Center in Umbertide, as well as other aspects of our New York operations.

Mac hails from the coastal forests of Maine, and is a musician and writer who studied at Williams College.  In 2009, he joined Eve Beglarian (CRF 2006) on her kayak trip down the Mississippi River, where he learned just how easy it is to flip a kayak. He plays the trombone and piano, composes, and writes short stories and essays.  He is very excited to be working at Civitella.
