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. 🧡
