Students Share Italian Experience with Families

It’s not uncommon to see Umbra students walking the streets of Perugia with their families. But several staff members were surprised to run into Meghan Shellenberg and her father, Paul, on the ferry from the Isle of Capri (in photo) this weekend. Staff and students were visiting Capri, Naples, Sorrento, and Pompei for an optional weekend excursion.

For many students, these visits allow them the opportunity to play tour guide and to impress their parents with their familiarity of the language and local culture. In return, the students usually get spoiled to nice meals and some shopping!
