在53年的基础上，全球十大网赌正规平台的罗马项目继续蓬勃发展

Susan GrangerTyler ’85 considers her time at Trinity College’s Rome program to have been transformative. “It was the beginning of fantastic experiences of my life, and it emboldened me for the world. 这让我意识到一切皆有可能,” said GrangerTyler, who majored in political science with an international relations concentration and went on to a career as a public policy, corporate responsibility, 以及拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的可持续发展顾问.

50多年来，有机会在 Trinity College Rome Campus on Aventine Hill has led students to immerse themselves in the culture and language of Italy and to do so from the comfort of a ‘home away from home.’ The 文科课程的程序, including abundant field visits, 特色课程在各种学科, drawing on the cultural, historical, and political contexts of Rome, Italy, and Europe.

As with all of Trinity’s global study locations, Rome offers the benefits of living and traveling in another country—getting out of one’s comfort zone, building intercultural skills, 了解自己和了解他人一样多. The Rome program is unique, however, as Trinity’s oldest global study program—it recently marked its 53rd anniversary—and because so many of its roughly 5,500 past participants, from Trinity and other U.S. 大学，与项目保持联系 faculty and staff.

GrangerTyler将永远记住她的三一导师的影响, 已故的政治学教授, Emeritus, Albert Gastmann. He encouraged her to study in Rome, although she was concerned the cost would be prohibitive. But the Study Away and Financial Aid offices arranged financial aid for her to participate and, once she was in Rome, in spring 1984, GrangerTyler said, “It was like Dr. 加斯特曼有一张通往世界的通行证，他带着他的学生, 向我们介绍了罗马全球决策的权力中心, Geneva, and France.”

For Marc DiBenedetto ’13, 罗马令人难忘，很大程度上是因为他和他现在的妻子, Kathryn Longenbach, 这是他们参加项目的第一天. 他回忆起他们在散步, talking, and briefly became separated from the rest of the group during a walking tour of sites including the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, and the Spanish Steps. 朗根巴赫是汉密尔顿学院的学生, and her parents, Joanna Scott ’82, H’09 and James Longenbach ’81, 全球十大网赌正规平台的校友是在参加罗马项目的时候认识的吗.

DiBenedetto, who majored in English with a creative writing concentration and now works as a video producer for Northeastern University, 他说，这个项目的很大一部分是“感觉自己是罗马公民”, 因为阿文汀山是一个非常居民区.” He said, “It’s also a great location to set off from; you can easily explore other parts of Italy and Europe. 我的课很有沉浸感，我们通过真实的生活经历来学习. 这是我认为任何人都能得到的最真实的体验.”

罗马计划于1970年开始实施，是通过对 Michael R. Campo ’48, H’96, John J. 麦库克现代语言名誉教授. 来到全球十大网赌正规平台时，他是哈特福德公立高中的毕业生, 坎波成为但丁学者和意大利诗歌翻译家, 长期担任全球十大网赌正规平台教员和现代语言系主任 Language and Culture Studies)，也是罗马全球十大网赌正规平台项目的创始主任. 他于2017年去世，享年93岁 Hartford Courant obituary described him as a “quintessential man of action and an italianista beyond compare.”

At a 53rd anniversary celebration March 23-26 at the Rome campus—an event to mark the program’s 50th year was postponed in 2020 due to the pandemic—Director of the Trinity College Rome Campus Stephen Marth served as master of ceremonies for the Saturday program. 与过去和现在的教职员工进行小组讨论, alumni of the program, and current students were live-streamed so alumni who could not be there in person could still join the festivities by Zoom.

马斯指出，该项目将继续增加尽可能让人身临其境的方式. Through a new residential option, the Italian Living Project, 学生可以选择与意大利学生住在一起. And students in any of the residential options can practice Italian language skills with native Italian students through a University Partners program. 目前，当地大学的16名学生担任文化中介. “我们的学生一到学校就能立刻接触到这些意大利朋友. 这是他们意大利语课的一部分，但也发生在课外。. “They head out around the city and talk over a coffee, a walk in the park, or a visit to a museum.”

Giulietta Nitido ’24, in Rome for spring 2023, said it is the faculty and staff, 以及她认识的同学和土生土长的意大利人, 是谁让这个节目与众不同. A public policy and law major, Nitido said the internship she has at a local gelateria and the internship seminar she participates in have also enhanced her experience.

Dean of the Faculty and Vice President for Academic Affairs Sonia Cardenas spoke during the March 25 event about planning around the future of the Rome program. “我们真的很幸运有这样坚实的基础. 当我们想到未来的50年, 我们要确保我们继续保持强大,” said Cardenas. She noted that three principles are guiding discussions: increased integration of the Hartford faculty and the Rome faculty, as well as the curriculum; a distinctive brand for Trinity’s Rome program; and accessibility—ensuring that any Trinity student who wants to study in Rome will be able to do so.

卡德纳斯表示，全球十大网赌正规平台也将全年使用罗马校区, 包括一月学期和夏季. “夏季是否适合开发终身学习项目，包括校友项目?? 例如，我们能否在食物和文化方面创造出独特的产品?卡德纳斯在演讲的最后引用了全球十大网赌正规平台“大胆准备”的使命, 独立思考者引领变革的生活.” She asked, “What better way to be inspired and challenged to learn than to come to a beautiful place like our Rome campus, 并有一个变革的经验?”

Marth said that the anniversary gathering was “an occasion to celebrate 53 years of an incredible program. 但这也是一个从哈特福德引进同事的机会, 并允许我们与我们最近通过Zoom了解的人互动. 我觉得我们已经为未来的许多对话奠定了基础.”
