Rome is considered by many as a European epicenter of art, history food and culture. This quarter, 21 Communication students decided to take their learning abroad to Rome and its surrounding areas to learn about the city’s local, national and global identity. Lead by Anita VernaCrofts, Master of Communication in Digital Media (MCDM) Associate Director, and Professor Nancy Rivenburgh, the students are using the city as their classroom, with the program including sightseeing, visiting the many museums, and taking in the wonders that make Rome so unique. In addition, the students are also taking a 3-week intensive language course to help soften the Italian-English language barrier.

While abroad, some of the students will be sharing their adventures with us back home. Check out Veronica Quintero’s online blog, where she’ll be providing updates on her experience.
