Ashlyn Ketchum is spending a semester abroad and studying at Istituto Universitario Salesiano Venezia University.
“I’m having a great time! I’m taking event management and fashion marketing and merchandising classes. These classes are very interactive with a lot of group work. Both include a couple of field trips throughout the semester. For example, we just went to Eataly for event management, and we’re going to Milan in April for a fashion field trip. I think I am finally learning things in these classes that are turning me towards my desired career path. I have always wanted to work in fashion, and getting to study the industry in Italy is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity.”
Ashlyn is graduating in May 2026 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration.
