Da Vinci’s Challenge 02/15/18
When you hear the word “Da Vinci” what is the first thing that comes to your mind? For me, it was the mediocre film released in 2006 featuring Tom Hanks. However, for the people in Paderno Del Grappa, it has a different meaning. While only some of us here at CIMBA experienced a variety of activities within the […]

What Held True 12/13/17
Well, just like that, my semester at CIMBA has come and gone. It’s still hard to comprehend that in what felt like a blink of an eye, I am back to driving a car, using U.S. currency, and speaking solely in English. It’s been a bittersweet week getting re-acclimated to […]

Having now spent two and half weeks in Paderno del Grappa, I have experienced lots of first impressions of this place and these people. It’s been equal parts exhausting, exciting, overwhelming, and eye-opening. […]

What I Learned From The DaVinci Challenge 09/21/17
Three days after our arrival to Paderno del Grappa, every student spent the day participating in the DaVinci Challenge. This challenge is a team-building event that uses extreme trust exercises to help connect a group. The tasks were difficult, not only because we were all jet-lagged, but also because we hadn’t formally gotten to know each other […]
