Today is the first day of spring! That means the warm, sunny, cloudless, days of summer in Italy are getting closer!

There will be a general interest meeting for the summer 2015 SCO in Rome trip this Wednesday at Common Hour.

"Going on the trip was the best decision I've ever made!" - Reba Putorti, 2014 Hofstra Roman

"Most fun month of my life!" - Emily Lenguadoro, 2014 Hofstra Roman

"The single most amazing experience of my life." - Pope Francis

What does graffiti, archaeology, and journalism have in common? They are all part of JRNL 180 in Rome this summer. Learn more on Wednesday, March 11th, during common hour.

[Super Pope by Mauro Pallotta near the Vatican in Rome]

There are two classes offered for SCO in Rome that cover a multitude of topics. RTVF 65: Roma Cinema Aperta and JRNL 180: International Journalism: Engaging Citizens Stateside.

Roma Cinema Aperta is an exploration of Italian cinema and film production. The course delves into the nuances of Italian culture and history through the lens of the filmmakers.

International Journalism allows students to experiment with site specific storytelling and mobile journalism. The course explores current Roman culture as compared to historical archaeology and character narrative.

This summer, Rome can be your classroom!

If you were interested in the projects and work from last summer, here are some great examples:

My Favorite Day
