DIPLOMACY CORPS

Two students participated in travel programs through the Student Diplomacy Corps (SDC), offering them the opportunity to expand their learning in the U.S. or abroad. This opportunity is provided through the gracious support of a generous donor.

Aliah R.’ 25 made her way to Italy, where she was introduced to the “Slow Food” movement. The “Slow Food, Rich Culture” course provided a truly authentic Italian exploration of food and culture through visits to Rome, Asti, and San Benedetto, connecting with a host family, taking a cooking course, and farm and restaurant visits, all while learning about sustainable agriculture and growing your own food.

Tawana M. ’25 headed north for the “Experimental College” program, which took place at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in North Adams. She had the opportunity to get a taste of life on a collegiate campus while earning college credit. Tawana’s tract, “The Power of the Word – A Study of Hip Hop through Social Justice,” built upon what she learned during the recent January Term course she participated in at Chatham Hall, “History of Hip Hop in the U.S.”
