Carlsbad, CA – Army and Navy Academy is proud to announce the launch of its “Worldly Warrior” program, designed to enrich the educational experience of students by providing opportunities for Faculty members to have first-hand global experiences and cultural immersion opportunities and integrate these insights into the Academy’s curriculum. The first grant recipient, English Department Chairperson Jamie Maduro, recently returned from a tour through Italy’s renowned cities Florence, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast.
The “Worldly Warrior” program underpins the Academy’s commitment to fostering a broad-minded educational approach. Maduro’s trip aimed to bridge historical educational practices with modern pedagogy by exploring the Renaissance’s rich educational principles.
“Through this unique opportunity, I was able to delve into the Renaissance era’s profound impact on Italy’s culture, and trends in learning and teaching. The experience has been transformative, offering fresh perspectives that I am eager to integrate into our curriculum,” said Maduro.
