The Classroom Experience 06/02/15

Perhaps one of my favorite things about my experience at CIMBA so far has been the professors here. While there are so many other things to be doing in Italy, my professors have made every second of class meaningful and the lessons they teach intentional. In my international financial accounting class taught by Dr. Tim […]

When in Rome 06/02/15

Ciao! Whether you are in Italy, another country, or even at home, “when in Rome” can be a good philosophy to live by. Experience the world around you. Live it, love it, and try it. Embrace your old routine of actions, but don’t be afraid to try something new. “When in Rome” pushes you to […]

Challenging Yourself 05/25/15

Study Abroad Lesson #1: Do As the Italians Do 05/21/15
