HOW DID YOU ENGAGE WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHILE ABROAD?
A big way I engaged with the local community was getting involved volunteering in Florence. The CEA CAPA staff connected me with a local church, and once a week, I got to serve alongside local volunteers at their food pantry. It was a fun and enriching experience that helped me give back to the city, meet locals, and gain a better understanding of the local church and its humanitarian efforts.
WHAT
WAS YOUR FAVORITE CLASS WHILE ABROAD, AND WHY?
My favorite class abroad was Italian Art History. It was incredible learning the stories behind so many great works of art, and getting to visit the museums and churches that house the works we studied was beyond cool. It also gave me a great context for art that I got to see in my travels across Italy and Europe.
