Before embarking on the CIMBA program, I thought I had a solid grasp on what it meant to travel, to learn, and to grow. I had taken classes, visited a few new places, and imagined what studying abroad might be like. But nothing could have prepared me for how transformative this summer in Paderno del Grappa would be. CIMBA didn’t just give me a change of scenery, it shifted the way I view the world, education, and my own path in life.

Studying at CIMBA in the summer is definitely busy, but it’s also packed with exciting activities and unforgettable trips! Today, follow along with me as I take you through a day in the life of this incredible experience.

Just one week ago, I left the University of Nebraska and arrived in Italy. As a finance and international marketing student, I wanted to experience how culture and business connect, and studying abroad was the perfect chance to do that. After a few days of adjusting and exploring, I already feel I’ve grown in ways I didn’t expect.
