This article presents an essay about the St. John’s University Summer Faculty Writing Institute, which sends groups of faculty on study abroad trips to Rome to study writing and the teaching of writing. The purpose of this article is not only to discuss the importance of creating a scholarly and reflective space for faculty to build a learning community far from their daily lives on a campus in the United States, whether it’s a research community, or, in this case, a writing community, but also how faculty study abroad programs may be one of the best investments in faculty development and global education an institution can make.
