Food Cultures of Italy (FIG) Introduces Students to Italian Culture

The Fall 2018 semester saw a cohort of 9 students enrolled in the Food Cultures of Italy (LitTrans 410) course and in an introductory Italian language course. This group was a part of a First-Year Interest Group (FIG) led by Associate Professor Grazia Menechella who reported that all 9 students received an A in both courses and that she had “never seen a group so enthusiastic about Italian culture.” The Italian language course was led by Valentina Morello, an Italian graduate student.
