Italian Adventures Await: Donors Expand Opportunities Abroad for Students and Faculty

  • by Clémentine Sicard

Italy is a second home to Mary Puma and Eivind Lange III ’77, who have visited there for over 40 years and built a family residence in the Umbria region. Their lifelong love of the country inspired them to give $1 million to support engagement and research programs in Italy for UC Davis students and faculty. 

“We want to give UC Davis overall a chance to get more involved with Italy,” said Lange. “Increasing the international exposure of students helps them to not only get their degree, but to experience another part of the world.”
