Shannon Hamer is a rising junior at James Madison University studying Psychology, and she grew up in Centreville, VA. Shannon knew going into college that one of her main goals was to study abroad, and she is extremely grateful for the opportunity to have fulfilled this dream in Urbino, Italy this summer. She served as a writer for the history and traditions group, which allowed her to explore the fascinating and rich history of Urbino. Shannon’s favorite part of the Urbino program was having the opportunity to be immersed in a culture that has many differences and similarities to the one she has always known.
