Feature Story: When in Rome

Abstract

International experiences are an important part of many students’ education. One such opportunity at the University of Regina and federated colleges is David Meban and Francesco Freddolini’s two-week study trip to Italy. Meban is an Associate Professor of Classics at Campion College and Freddolini is an Assistant Professor of Art History at Luther College. “In my classes, I regularly discuss and use images of some of the key monuments and sites of Rome and Pompeii - but nothing beats seeing them in person,” Meban explains. Freddolini adds that "Art uncovers different, and more intriguing stories when we can see the works in their context."
