“My mother often told me she used to

pick tomatoes when she was young before

her summer vacation. Well, I came all

the way from Italy to California to do

the same and make her proud. I picked

tomatoes and basil working at the Student

Farm in the mornings, improving my

English skills in the afternoons. I visited

the new Mondavi Institute for Wine andFood Science on the UC Davis campus,

where I formed important contacts for my

future career in enology. I have had a unique

and unforgettable experience working and

studying with wonderful people.”

“The UC Davis classes were very helpful for my future studies back in Germany. I

broadened my outlook by spending time with American and other international students.

The people were very friendly and open-minded. It was easy to settle down and make new

friends. Some of them will stay for a lifetime. The studies helped me improve my English

proficiency, which is especially important to me as an engineer who wants to work in the

international environment.”
