We've been back home for about four months now, so this is long overdue - but THANK YOU to all the travelers who participated in Stonehill's first Alumni Travel Program!! Thank you so much for your flexibility, your eagerness to learn, and your comraderie. I think all of us enjoyed each other's company nearly as much as we enjoyed seeing the Irish countryside. A special thanks to Prof. Richard Finnegan for all of his insight along the way. The trip would not have been the same without you! I have heard from so many of the Ireland travelers since the trip. From sharing photos with each other to catching up at a Stonehill event; and everyone has the same questions: When and where is the next trip?? So I am happy to announce the second Alumni Travel Program, "Masterpieces of Italy". This trip is also a 9-day, 7-night excursion. The trip will feature Florence, venice, Assisi, San Gimignano, Siena, Rome and more! With Assistant Professor of Fine Arts Allyson Sheckler s
