Preparations Cont.

The online part of the class has begun and I have started collecting items in one place. I still have a LOT to do before we leave, but it will all be worth it!

This trip and the corresponding course will provide all of the following:

• An opportunity to learn about Italian Higher Education
• A 2 week immersion in Italian culture
• The final elective course for my doctoral program
• Time to write and research for my dissertation
• An opportunity to make connections with people who are doing similar research
• A trip to Italy, which is a dream come true!

I’ll be updating my progress and tracking my time in Italy using this blog.

Preparations...

And the last elective is... a trip to Italy!

In less than a month I found out about the opportunity, applied, and was accepted. I even received a very generous scholarship from the Italian Cultural Center in Minneapolis.

I've started collecting items in one place and the online portion of the course has begun. I still have a LOT to do before we leave, but I wanted to dust off my old blog in preparation for the trip. 

7 weeks and counting...
