FOR FACULTY

 

Faculty, study abroad directors and administrators concur that Gustolab International Food Systems and Sustainability (GLI) is essential to their students’ academic enrichment.

 

Attentive staff, expert professors, and prominent figures in their respective fields.

Focus on experiential learning that aligns with diverse curriculum and majors. The study of food and sustainability encompasses all fields.

Integrated programs suited to a wide array of disciplines within the biological, social, and cultural sciences. Students even come from the departments of economics, business, advertising, marketing, psychology, sociology, language, nutrition, environmental studies, sustainability, architecture and design.

We have collaborated in the design and implementation of over twenty faculty-led programs to Italy.

We have hosted more than thirty faculty members on visiting appointments at our Institute.

“Food is life. Seeing literally the way people eat, is a way of seeing how they live. Highlighted is the fact that Italy is a natural laboratory, one of the best destinations to study food and nutrition. Rome and its environs are the ideal classroom.”
Professor Tinkler
Hobart and William Smith Colleges
