Design study abroad in Italy

My name is Jayde Shepherd, I am a sophomore at the University of Utah studying Multidisciplinary Design and Psychology.  I was invited to participate in a life changing study abroad within the college of Architecture and Design.  This opportunity would allow me to study alongside the dean of the architecture school and the director of the design program for three months in Volterra, Italy.  After months of juggling school and working  two jobs I realized that I would not be able to raise the funds all by myself.  Being able to participate in this amazing opportunity would mean the world to me.  Ever since I was a little girl I️t was my dream to become a great designer.  Going on this study abroad would not only be an experience that I would take with me for the rest of my life, but also solidify one of 30 spots in a competitive program.  I would greatly appreciate any possible help.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. 

All my love and appreciation,

Jayde Elsye Shepherd
