Alice Andrews is a sophomore studying environmental studies. This upcoming fall, she will be studying at the University of Bologna through the Bologna Consortial Studies Program (BCSP). Taking courses instructed fully in Italian, Alice will immerse herself in the culture and language of Italy, while centering her studies around the UN Sustainable Development Goals, a unique opportunity offered at the University of Bologna.
