Presentation
The Paul VI College was founded in the 1960s thanks to the will of the pope of the same name, designed by Giò Ponti. The residence is located in a quiet period neighbourhood not far from the Catholic University, which can therefore be reached in a few minutes on foot or by public transport.
Numerous common spaces are available to the students, aimed at sharing and creating a cohesive community in constant fervour.
The rooms, most of which are single with private bathroom, make it possible to combine the need for normal privacy with the possibility of sharing spaces in which to stay as a group, such as the kitchens available on each floor.

Presidency
President: Sara Valentino
Vice-President: Elena Tomaino
The theme chosen to live this academic year in the collegiate reality is: 'Walking together to discover the gift'.
President Sara Valentino and Vice-President Elena Tomaino represent all boarding schools for the entire academic year.
Their main tasks are to convene the general assembly of the collegiate bodies, setting the agenda and regulating its proceedings, and to draw up the minutes thereof.
They also chair the organisational committee and coordinate the activities of the various committees, working closely with their leaders.
They must always be present and available, and above all, try to meet the needs, problems and requests of the collegians.
Cultural Commission
Responsible: Elena Esposito, Daniela Cotellessa
The cultural commission has the task of making it easier for collegiate students to enjoy anything that may be of cultural interest. This is done not only through the management of the library and the promotion of conferences and debates, but also by giving visibility to external initiatives such as theatre performances, exhibitions, concerts, etc.
It is organised into various sub-committees, such as the publication of the college's internal journal, the organisation of the book club and the cineforum.
Recreational Commission
Responsible: Giorgia Di Ciano, Noemi Gilardi
The Recreation Commission devotes its efforts to creating spaces for recreation beyond the daily study sessions. Some of the proposed activities
- organisation of internal college parties;
- realisation of film forums;
Liturgical Commission
Responsible: Angelica Pedone, Beatrice Pedone
The liturgical commission aims to define the spiritual itinerary of the collegiate community during the academic year. Precisely:
- participation in the weekly Eucharist celebrated in the college chapel and other moments of common prayer;
- the preparation for the festivities of Holy Christmas and Easter and moments of community celebration also shared with other colleges during the high season of Advent and Lent;
- care of celebrations relating to significant moments of the liturgical year: Christmas, St Angela Merici, Easter.
Housing Commission
Responsible: Federica Carbone, Eleonora Tango
The purpose of the housing commission is, through the updating and maintenance of the boarding school's interior (kitchens, TV room, common areas and courtyard), to optimise the logistic and environmental conditions for a comfortable stay, in compliance with the internal rules and regulations, as well as the individual needs of each boarding school member. The committee, in the person of the person in charge and his or her collaborator, is also the liaison body between the boarders, the housekeeper and all EDUCatt staff working at the boarding school.
Volunteer Commission
Responsible: Martina Scicolone, Martina Tarabori
The Volunteer Commission was created with the intention of conveying the desire to put oneself at the service of others. Its ultimate goal is therefore to create a culture of volunteering and an awareness of others in everyday life, through experience and information.
The primary instrument for achieving these goals is voluntary work, which allows us to touch the various realities of suffering and discomfort present in our society. It takes the form of collaboration with certain structures such as the I.R.D.A. (I Ragazzi Dell'Arcobaleno) and the Be Present project within the Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore.
Intercultural Commission
Responsible: Alice Alpi, Maria Emilia Granda
In this year, the Directorate thought it appropriate to propose the establishment of a new 'interculture' Commission to contribute to the integral formation of the person, also responding to the needs of girls from foreign countries to get involved in collegiate life.
The objectives of this new committee are to integrate and include female students in the activities of the training project and to stimulate female students to take an active role in the committee.
The group is heterogeneous, made up of girls from foreign countries and Italian girls, and the type of activities proposed takes its cue from the other commissions already present in the college, with particular attention to the cultural background of the foreign girls. In this way, all the commissions are called upon to collaborate and discuss the events planned.
Freshmen representatives: Carola Cicalese, Gloria Romanelli
Treasury
Treasurer: Beatrice Castellano, Morena Peloso
The Treasury takes care of the economic and accounting management of the college; at the end of the year, it draws up a balance sheet of internal activities.
