Billy Grayson ’12 (fourth from left) participated in an international basketball tournament July 5-7 during his study abroad experience at the Umbra Institute in Perugia, Italy. Featuring players from around the world, the only requirement to enter was a willingness to play. “It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Grayson said. “I played with people I’d seen around Perugia since I’ve been here, and we actually got to hang out. It really gave me perspective, seeing so many different cultures getting to know each other through just playing a sport together, even if we could barely say hi in the beginning.” Photo courtesy of Caitlin Addlesperger
