“In the summer of 2006, I took 12 students to Sorrento, Italy for a four-week Study Abroad program. The program was designed to combine cultural study and language acquisition. I chose Sorrento for this program because it’s safe, easily walkable, and famous for its beauty and culture.The program was a wonderful success. Students had a great time, met clear learning objectives, gained significant language skills, produced some excellent presentations and papers, and made a strong connection with the culture and community.“
