The TUJ Program Board goes international! Leonardo D'Amato, a member of TUJPB had the opportunity to visit and engage with the vibrant community at the Temple Rome campus. Originally from Italy, he took advantage of his time back home to visit and interact with fellow TU Owls from across the world.

Leo had the pleasure of meeting Gianni Marangio, the engagement manager at Temple Rome, to explore various prospective collaboration opportunities. In a kind gesture, Gianni invited Leo to participate in a Temple Rome activity, where a group of TUR students gathered to make authentic Italian pizza. Leo discussed his experience, stating, "Finding common ground through Temple University while immersed in completely different surroundings was truly fulfilling. Connecting with fellow students and Gianni was an incredible experience."

TUJPB cherishes the privilege of establishing this connection with TUR. Be sure to stay tuned to TUJPB's social media for updates on upcoming initiatives and cultural collaborations involving our Owls in both Japan and Italy.
