Katie Law of Elgin, South Carolina, a senior Visual Arts student at the South Carolina Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities, attended the Spoleto Study Abroad 2010 Arts and Humanities summer immersion program in the renowned renaissance town of Spoleto, Italy, during the summer of 2010. This educational journey featured a rich and varied curriculum in the arts, complementing the in-depth studies Katie experiences at the Governor’s School.
