A taste of life in Prato
The program highlights the University’s focus on experiential and global education. Counselors learn about the study abroad program itself, and they receive important information about admissions, student success and advising, and intercultural competencies. Phil Howard and Josh Kealer, members of the University’s undergraduate admissions staff, also attended, helping to ensure a seamless experience. Dr. Murphy hopes the opportunity was a way for counselors to experience the many benefits students gain from studying abroad.
“It is very satisfying to be able to speak directly with the people who work with students and to show them firsthand the opportunities and experiences the University offers at the Prato Campus,” he said. “We also learn a lot spending so much time with other professionals dedicated to student development.”
Besides exploring Prato, the group visited many of the local cities and communities that students visit while in Italy. They toured historic churches, museums, and other sites in Florence, explored the Tuscan countryside, and visited nearby cities such as Pisa, Lucca, and Siena.
Randy Stamm, a school counselor at Hackensack High School in Hackensack, NJ, was thrilled to have the chance to visit the campus. It was his second time out of the country and his first in more than two decades, and he describes the trip as a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.” He particularly enjoyed having dinner in the Tuscan countryside, the delicious food, and breathtaking views. He says he is excited to share the experience with his own students.
“I was so impressed by the attention to detail and intentionality that the faculty and staff put into creating an experience wherein counselors would get a taste of what life as a University of New Haven student in Prato would be like,” he said. “The University has identified a location that strikes the right balance between living in large city, yet still feeling like part of a smaller community. I would absolutely feel comfortable recommending students to spend a semester in Prato with the wonderful, caring, and knowledgeable staff and faculty.”
‘You want your kids to experience new things’
For Lorraine Longing, who has been a school counselor for nearly 30 years, the experience was informative and also rewarding. The district director of guidance for the Nyack School District in Rockland County, NY, she was excited to make new connections with her fellow school counselors and with University faculty and staff while exploring everything the campus – and Italy – has to offer.
“This trip was a wonderful opportunity, and we had a great group,” she said. “I enjoyed getting to know Kevin and Silvia. They did a great job with everything, and I’m so glad we had this experience.”
For DelAngelo, the Joel Barlow High School counselor, experiencing Italy and Italian hospitality wasn’t just exciting and educational, it was also reassuring. DelAngelo is a counselor as well as a parent, and he appreciated the faculty’s and staff’s dedication to creating a welcoming, educational, and well-organized experience for the counselors.
“As a parent, you want your kids to experience new things,” he said. “If they are going across the ocean and six time zones away, it’s important to know there will be people who will take care of your child. I can’t speak highly enough of Kevin and Silvia. They know they are entrusted with students’ lives.”
