SASA takes on sexual assault with artworkStrains of classic rock filled the cozy, studio-like room. Several students sat making T-shirts on the floor, the wooden boards of which bore the marks of similar artistic projects of the past.

Help a sister outThere are nuns everywhere in Florence: padding quietly down the street, on the bus, on bikes with their habits flying in the breeze. They may be one of my favorite aspects of my chosen Junior-Year-Abroad city.
Like most Italians, I deeply respect and admire nuns for their social work and their total dedication to something beyond themselves.
