Early life and education

Celenza was born in 1967 in Cleveland, Ohio. He grew up in Staten Island in New York City, and attended Monsignor Farrell High School, where he graduated in 1985.

He received his Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in history from the State University of New York at Albany in 1988 and 1989, respectively. From 1992 to 1993, Celenza studied in Florence on a Fulbright Scholarship. He then received his PhD in history from Duke University in 1996. His doctoral dissertation was titled "A Renaissance Humanist's View of his Social and Cultural Environment: Lapo Da Castiglionchio the Younger’s De curiae commodis." While a doctoral student, Celenza was awarded the Rome Prize, which granted him a fellowship at the American Academy in Rome from 1993 to 1994. In 2001, he received his second doctorate, a Dr. Phil., in the classics, specializing in Neo-Latin literature, from the University of Hamburg. His dissertation there was titled "Piety and Pythagoras in Late Fifteenth Century Florence: The Symbolum Nesianum." Following his degree, Celenza was awarded the Frederick Burkhardt Residential Fellowship for Recently Tenured Scholars by the American Council of Learned Societies in 2003.

Academic career

While pursuing his doctorate at the University of Hamburg, Celenza became an assistant professor in 1996 and later associate professor of history at Michigan State University. During this period, he was eventually appointed full professor and associate chair of graduate studies for the university. In 2005, Celenza joined the faculty of Johns Hopkins University, holding positions in the departments of history, German and Romance languages and literatures, and classics. While there, he was also the founder of the Charles Singleton Center for the Study of Premodern Europe, of which he served as its first director from 2008 to 2010. In 2008, Celenza was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.

In 2010, Celenza took a leave of absence from Johns Hopkins to become the 21st director of the American Academy in Rome, succeeding Carmela Vircillo Franklin. He held this position until 2014, when he was succeeded by Kimberly Bowes. Following his directorship, Celenza returned to Johns Hopkins, where he became the chair of the department of classics from 2014 to 2016 and the Charles Homer Haskins Professor of classics. For a year, he served as vice dean for humanities and social sciences in the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. Celenza was subsequently appointed the vice provost for faculty affairs of Johns Hopkins. During his time at Johns Hopkins, he also assisted in the founding of the Alexander Grass Humanities Institute.

On March 2, 2017, the President of Georgetown University, John DeGioia, announced that Celenza would become the Dean of Georgetown College, succeeding Chester Gillis. He officially assumed the position on July 1, 2017. He concurrently held professorships in history and the classics.

On October 22, 2020, Johns Hopkins President Ronald Daniels named Celenza as James B. Knapp Dean of the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, effective January 4, 2021.
