Raise your glass for 25 years of excellence abroad! 🇮🇹
25 years ago we welcomed our first 31 students. This past spring, we welcomed over 550. It took hard work, constant growth, and a lot of people who believed in what we were building.
This week we celebrated in Florence alongside our Faculty-Led programs, some of whom have been with us for many years, and some who are just beginning their journey with us. Their trust in what we do has been instrumental in making ISI Florence what it is today, and we could not be more grateful.
So here's to all of you who worked with passion to promote excellence abroad and to a bright future full of great new adventures. Cheers! 🥂❤️
