Carrie Wingfield of Highlands Ranch (801295456) departed Jan. 30 for a three-month semester studying abroad at Harding University in Florence, Italy (HUF).

As part of the HUF curriculum, Wingfield is spending the semester immersed in Italian culture. Students have the opportunity to visit locations such as Pisa, Rome, Pompeii, Sicily, Siena and other historically significant areas. The group lives together in a 16th-century villa much like a typical Italian family, cultivating new relationships with fellow students.

Students in the program have a full course load available to them taught by visiting Harding professors. The professors also travel with the students. The classes encourage exploration and interaction among the people of Italy.
