This is what summer on campus has been like so far! ☀️

Last week, JCU hosted the 11th Summer School on Migration and Human Rights in partnership with the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI).
Over five days, participants explored today’s most pressing migration challenges through expert lectures and discussions on topics including human rights, refugee protection, and AI in migration governance.
Thank you to our speakers, organizers, and participants for making this year’s Summer School a meaningful experience for all.

“We’re something of a hidden jewel in Rome.”

A few weeks into her new role as John Cabot University’s seventh president and first woman president, Antonia Maioni sat down to discuss leadership, the future of liberal arts education, AI, Rome, and the next chapter of JCU with Wanted in Rome.

From succeeding a president who led the University for more than two decades to preparing students for an increasingly complex future, President Maioni reflects on the challenges and opportunities ahead.

Her vision is rooted in both continuity and change: building on JCU’s strong foundations while making sure the world knows more about what happens here.
