Program Description: Want to spend four weeks in a

picturesque hilltop town in the green heart of Italy? Want
to sip a cappuccino by the Rialto Bridge in Venice or
sample the famous Parmigiano cheese in an open air
market in Bologna? Want to marvel at the Sistine Chapel,
the Pantheon, the Coliseum, and the teeming nightlife of
Rome? Then join us for our summer study abroad
program in Spoleto, Italy, sponsored by the programs in
English and Mass Communciations at UWG.

On top of exciting studies, students will also take field

trips, germane to their classes. Aside from in-town forays,
we will also visit the nearby towns of Assisi and Perugia,
and the Caput Mundi herself, glorious Rome.

Four weeks of exposure to another culture and another

language often changes students' lives, promoting
personal growth and maturity. Students who
accompanied Dr. Davidson on the study abroad trip to
Montepulciano in 2006, for example, went on to
participate in a year-long ISEP program in the Czech
Republic, receive a Fulbright scholarship to teach
American literature in Slovakia, and complete a graduate
program in social work at the University of Georgia. This
program, then, could be merely the beginning of a long
engagement with travel and cultural contact, which you
will continue to nurture throughout your undergraduate
career and beyond.

locations and participate in certain social activities such
as: indoor seated dining at restaurants and bars,
museums, exhibitions, cultural sites, sporting events,

of Health issued an ordinance on July 29, 2021 stating

an European Medicines Agency (EMA) recognized
vaccine from competent U.S. health authorities (CDC
“white cards”) will be considered the equivalent of the
Italian Green Pass where this requirement exists.
