Program Reviews:
Michelle Richardson Ridley, Summer 2016 Participant
I learned stepping outside of your comfort zone can be a good thing. Learning and trying new things can be scary but in the end it brings great rewards.

Summer 2014 Participant
I enjoyed the site visits. It was amazing to see social work in practice in another country and be able to talk to workers in areas in which I was interested.

Summer 2019 Participant
My favorite part of this program was visiting the various social service agencies across Milan and visiting with the social workers and service users.
