Instructor: Maggie Pitts, Ph.D. will be teaching in the Orvieto summer school
program for the first time this summer, but she is no stranger to study
abroad. Not only has she studied abroad twice, one of her core interests in
research and teaching is international sojourning. Specifically, she studies
students who study abroad! She has taught numerous courses on
intercultural communication and international sojourning and even
preparatory courses for students who study abroad. She has published her
research on study abroad in international journals and presented and
conducted research all over the globe including France, Mexico, The
Netherlands, Australia, The UK, South Africa, China, Canada, and beyond!
It is not often that a person's personal interests and career interests are the
same, but for Dr. Pitts, study abroad is not just a personal passion - her
career is built upon it!

Testimonials
 The fact that this program takes place in a small hill
town in the heart of Italy really allows you to get to
know the true Italy.
 I was able to take three theory courses for my
major and an elective. By choosing this program I
was able to stick to my four year graduation plan.
Testimonials
 The classes kept us on track with schooling but gave us
freedom to travel. I feel more confident communicating
with people from other countries… studying abroad has
changed my life in ways I cannot explain. It was the best
decision I have ever made.
