Hi, I'm Gwen! I was a Global Studies major and Religion minor. I spent the spring of my sophomore year in Rabat, Morocco! I couldn't wait for the opportunity to not only practice my Arabic, but also expand and apply the global mindset I have developed in my classes at Temple! I wanted to learn more about how the human experience varies around the world and becoming a more dynamic global citizen during my first experience in a non-western country.

Giovanny Zapata

Giovanny profile

What’s up! I’m Giovanny Zapata! I was a Health Professions major and Public Health and Biology double minor with a Genome Medicine Certificate (yes, it’s a mouthful to say). At Temple, being an Owl Team Leader for 2 years showed me how inspiration is a powerful, vital tool that I hope to reciprocate as a storyteller. As a first generation, Latinx college student and a son of two immigrants, I thought studying abroad was never a possibility for me. Furthermore, as a pre-med student, I was advised that a full semester study abroad experience was never feasible. Yet, here I am!

Eve Harbison-Ricciutti

Harbison-Ricciutti

Eve Harbison attended Messiah College and was very thankful to study abroad through Temple Rome’s program in her junior year. She doubled-majored in communication and sociology/anthropology, which is a mouthful. But it also sets the scene for the perfect academic background to use for and learn in while studying abroad. Having never traveled to Europe before, she was eager to begin meeting new people, trying authentic Italian food, and learning as much as possible about the culture of Roma.

Cecilia D’Arville has a global studies major with a history minor and is from Richmond, Virginia. Her love of history and international affairs inspired her decision to study abroad during her time at Temple. Through working as an Owl Team Leader, she got to know Temple’s Main Campus pretty well, so she grew ready to explore Temple Rome. At Temple, she was in the Improv Club and the A Cappella group Jewkebox. She spends most of her free time watching SNL reruns and singing karaoke. Aside from comedy and singing, she enjoys reading, baking, and hiking.

Amma-Sika Adomako

Amma-Sika Adomako, My coworker brought his camera into work one day and snapped this picture while I wasn't looking

Bonjour! Amma-Sika Adomako was a psychology major from a small town in New Jersey called Columbus. By the time she had finished high school, she had outgrown her small town and was ready to take on something bigger. Temple and the city of Philadelphia was the perfect place for her to grow. She quickly grew to love the city for all that it allowed her to do. During her time at Temple, she grew her passion for advocacy and the African diaspora to guide her to take a position on the executive board of the Organization of African Students, a student org.
