Growing Global Citizens

How Your Gift Will Help

---

To realize the full potential of the Auburn Abroad program and provide more students with access to its invaluable benefits, we need your support.

Currently, the program can only accommodate 22 students per semester. This limitation stifles the potential reach of the program, denying students the chance to broaden their horizons and develop as global citizens.

This renovation will add two additional beds to the existing dormitory, provide much needed sound mitigation in the classroom space, upgrade the office spaces for our team in Italy as well as provide a private nook for students to use when they need a moment to call home. With your help we will also be upgrading the ventilation, electrical and fire prevention systems in our campus.

Your contribution will fund renovation needs of the Chigi Palace that will include:

• Enhancements to the living and learning area including aesthetically pleasing sound mitigation and additional ventilation.
• A dedicated booth for students to privately communicate with family and friends while studying abroad.
• The addition of two additional student beds/nests.
• Enable two additional Auburn students to have the opportunity to become a global citizen, ready to navigate and contribute to our broader world.
• Provide students with the opportunity to earn an International Minor in Human Sciences while also developing their global leadership skills with this immersive experience.
• Empower future generations of leaders, equipped with cultural competence and global perspective necessary to thrive in an ever-changing world.

Join us in making these enhancements of the Chigi Palace a reality, ensuring the reach of this transformative educational experience for generations to come.

The Auburn Abroad program offers a unique opportunity for students to earn an International Minor in Human Sciences over the course of a single semester—a distinction unmatched by any other program on campus. This comprehensive curriculum, combined with hands-on cultural immersion and experiential learning, provides students with a truly holistic educational experience that transcends traditional classroom boundaries.

Students enter the program with expectations of immersing themselves in Italian culture, but they leave with a broader perspective on the world and a deeper appreciation for diverse cultures. By expanding the program, we empower more students to embark on this transformative journey, equipping them with the global competence and cultural sensitivity necessary for success in an interconnected world.
