From culture and cuisine to connection and community 🇮🇹🍝
Students in the Living the Mediterranean Diet and Lifestyle Study Abroad Program in Florence shared the words that best describe their experience abroad.
This program gave students the opportunity to explore the Mediterranean lifestyle firsthand while learning about nutrition, food culture, and global health in one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. 🧡

Reporting from Italy 🇮🇹 Our students are currently enjoying the Living the Mediterranean Diet and Lifestyle Study Abroad Program in Florence!
In the pictures our students are cooking a whole meal from scratch, including an appetizer, dessert and fresh pasta 🍝
Then, they visited a primary school, where they learned all about their food service and nutrition systems!
We wish them a wonderful time!
