<span style="background: white;">The Institute should be a dynamic introduction
to counseling in Italy, as well as a ten-day adventure in a European country
with much to see and do. It is an opportunity to gain an international
perspective while enjoying the camaraderie with colleagues and students on
counseling and higher education. Counselor educators, staff, higher education
professionals and students from other universities are welcome.<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><br>

opportunity with students of counseling or other majors as the course will meet
the requirements for many cross cultural courses at the undergraduate and
graduate level. Part of which will consist on an online dimension beginning prior

summer.<span class="apple-converted-space"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

current and future counselors to see what counseling, higher education, and
human services work is like in a European country while enjoying trips to
historic Italian cities as well as living in the historic 14<sup>th</sup>
century villa, Casa Cares in Tuscany, Italy. We will reflect on parallels and
differences between American and Italian cultures and counseling and higher
education approaches. For further information on sign up, the costs,
