Cara Epstein, a glass major and art history minor at Temple University, who is also working on her teacher certification, was a teaching assistant in art history at Liceo Manara, a nearby high school. “This has been an incredible opportunity for me. I am truly grateful for Temple's role in the matter—placing students into amazing internship opportunities.” As far as exposure to Italian culture and language is concerned, Cara continues, “This internship has given me insight into the Italian education system, and has allowed me to be woven into the daily lives of the youth here. I have witnessed the mix of languages, which is not only exposing me to the informal Italian dialect, but also exposing the students to English.  Being a part of this internship has given me a window to see this beautiful culture in a new light.”

"I always like to think that in order to make my future all that much more successful, I need to better myself in the present as well as give back to my community, and I believe that this internship is doing that for me."
