Outline from Faculty Interviews

Outline for SACI faculty interviews:
* We would like the instructor to START with the point, not just answer a question, because we will not hear the voice of the interviewer. Variations of the start of the answers are encouraged!

The goal of the video is to show what is special about SACI. In particular, we are interested in how SACI students have a better understanding of Tuscan culture, get out of the classroom (field trips, etc), and give back to Florence through volunteer work, etc. Also, if you have a special course that is not available in the US, or is very different in the US, that is good too!
