During a two year period, my husband and I lived in Rome, Italy. As professor of history and humanities at a college in PA, he was selected for the assignment of being Professor-in-Residence at the campus in Rome. We were delighted to have this adventure. Four groups of 15-20 students each joined in the academic engagement and cultural enrichment of this study abroad program. In addition to the many wonders of the Eternal City, we were privileged to take each semester's group to Florence, Venice, and Pompeii. As students were encouraged to grow academically, spiritually, and socially by learning about new cultures through travel, three day weekends were part of the curriculum. Accordingly, my husband and I were able to travel to 15 different countries during our two year stay in Europe. We count it a blessing to have lived and worked abroad and are thankful for the many ways in which we were able to engage the members of our Rome community.
