Academic Connections Between New York City and Rome

• My students served at food pantries, immigration assistance centers, education outreach centers, and other locations in New York City.

• In Rome, we served at the Joel NafumaRefugee Center, where we interacted with refugees from Angola, Libya, Afghanistan, and other places.
