Shannon Moore

Shannon Moore is an Ambassador who studied abroad in Greece and Italy.

Briefly describe a specific cultural experience you had on your trip that made a lasting impression.

Sitting on the steps of St. Peter's Square at night with my gelato...amazing.

Why did you choose the program in which you participated? 

I had always wanted to experience Italy and Greece, and the trip was a great opportunity to do that.

Describe your overall study abroad experience.

Art, mountains, gelato, gyros, beauty, culture, ancient history, Renaissance, religion, local natives, learning, growth in many aspects....

How has the trip affected you? How are you different for having completed the experience?

I have found a new, global perspective, and I take a greater interest in world news and affairs.

What advice do you have for future Study Abroad Students?

Go explore on your own...don't cling together with CSBSJU students. The trip will be so much better if you experience it without other Americans at all times (but be safe).
