Eight students from Eastern Connecticut State University are taking their studies abroad during the fall 2025 semester. Each of the travelers has had the opportunity to immerse themselves in the culture of their respective destinations while expanding their academic spheres.
Nineteen English students at Eastern embarked on an annual global field course to Florence, Italy, from June 22 to August 2. Titled "Creative Writing Abroad," the course was led by English Professor Christopher Torockio and allowed students to draw writing inspiration by immersing in Italian culture and the countryside.
Thirteen biology students at Eastern submerged themselves in research on oceanic ecosystems as part of two global field courses (GFCs) on San Salvador Island in the Bahamas this past May 2025. The courses, titled “Oceanic Island Ecology” (BIO 319) and “Tropical Biology” (BIO 320), were taught collaboratively by biology Professors Kristen Epp, Brett Mattingly, and Joshua Idjadi.
