As part of the Connecting Across Cultures class I met with Jenny Petrucci throughout the semester. in the beginning she explained many of the activities we could participate in throughout the semester. After choosing an activity she assisted in setting those activities up in accordance with our class schedules. Later on in the semester we met again to discuss the benefits and disadvantages of the activities which helped me as a student to better understand how the activity helped me adjust. I believe the feedback was also valuable to Jenny and the rest of the Connecting Across Cultures staff because there were many aspects that could be improved.
I also met regularly with the Student Life Office Staff at American University in Rome. They were extremely helpful in assisting me with daily life obstacles and housing problems as well as advice on different activities in Rome. If I ever had a question about transportation, school, our apartment or even something as simple as "Where can I find a Tailor?" they were more then happy to help which helped me adjust to my new culture.
