Rick Brazier, senior associate dean for faculty and research in the Office of the Vice President for Commonwealth Campuses, has been named interim dean of Penn State’s 14-campus University College.
Penn State Mont Alto faculty Robin Yaure and Robyn Chotiner worked closely with the Education Abroad office in Penn State Global and ISI Florence to condense a seven-week, nine-credit summer program into a three-credit course with a 10-day study abroad experience in Florence, Italy. For the Penn State students who participated in the programming, the experience was incredibly impactful. For some it was their first time out of the country.
Penn State students enrolled in the course, “Understanding the Italian Family: Historical and Cultural Contexts,” attending a cooking class during their study abroad program in Florence, Italy.
