Nick Salerno

The best two months of Nicholas Salerno's life were spent studying abroad at Temple's Rome campus. This junior legal studies major immersed himself in the European lifestyle and through his courses learned about Italian art, religion and environmental issues in Rome. Discover the amazing excursions the program offered and what inspired him to visit 22 cities, 12 different provinces and four countries in the span of six weeks.

Fox Spotlight

Three questions answered about the
Fox Business Communication Center (BCC)

One

Do peer tutors assist students whose first language is not English?

Yes! Peer tutors have also helped students who speak Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and more. We can provide assistance in sequencing ideas, sentence clarity, grammar and punctuation. 

Two

Students from which major utilize the BCC most?

Not that it’s a competition, but last year marketing majors used the BCC more than any other Fox major…with Risk Management, Business Management and Finance close behind. So regardless of your major, the BCC peer tutors love helping all majors!

Three

Why is October the busiest month at the BCC?

October is the busiest because students usually realize by then – either because they’ve gotten an initial bad grade or simply because they feel a little overwhelmed. Come on in or schedule an appointment today!
