Student in Rome Shares Her Experience

Alessandra Clizia Sabba, an Arcadia University student, was part of the Arcadia in Rome Spring 2020 program. Her article: Italy Under Stress of the Coronavirus: An American Student's Experience Abroad was published in La Voice di New York on March 03.

Alessandra has since returned home to the U.S.
