The Freshman Fall In Rome program began in August with a successful launch that included onsite orientation, combined activities for group bonding, city familiarization and cultural exploration.

“The FFR program gives students an international foundation early on in their academic experience,” Carrie Wojenski, director of Global Affairs at Sacred Hearbt said in a statement. “It’s an exciting and stimulating way for students to begin their college career and helps them discover their talents, abilities, strength and character. There is no better way to learn about yourself, expand your world view, acquire marketable skills and develop the habits of mind, heart and spirit that will prepare you to engage purposefully in a global world.”

The program offers small class sizes and specialized curriculum tailored to Sacred Heart core graduation requirements and students live in carefully chosen, university-managed environments.

Based on the success of the program, Sacred Heart plans to expand its scope to include additional sites.
