Come discover the magic of the Eternal City; explore its hidden secrets
through the languages of the arts and humanities. Traverse the many paths
of Rome: Ancient, Christian, Renaissance, Baroque and Modern.  Experience
the world of the Etruscans, Caesar, Michelangelo, Raphael, Leonardo da
Vinci, Vivaldi, Respighi, catacombs, the Colosseum, the Pantheon and don't
forget "WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO!"

This multidisciplinary program provides an opportunity for Carnegie Mellon
students to transcend their own areas of expertise. In learning and
understanding the languages of other disciplines and cultures and the
potential connections between them, you can act and work in the world from
a more informed and imaginative position. The integration of this knowledge
and experience will enhance your decision-making skills, creative powers
and your efficacy in the world.

This program immerses you in a foreign culture to foster sensitivity to the
diversity of people's ideas, attitudes, and beliefs. With a heightened
multi-cultural awareness, you will be better able to: envision yourselves
as multidisciplinary thinkers and learners; express ideas clearly in a
variety of modes and media; develop, attract and ultimately affect diverse
audiences; and explore various professional, cultural, and social contexts
as they relate to your goals. As a collaborative effort involving five
faculty from Art, Architecture, Design, Drama, and Music we offer an
outstanding international multidisciplinary course with exposure to
professionals working in Rome.

To use the city of Rome as a laboratory of study for integrating the
disciplines of art, architecture, design, drama, and music we have
developed methods of teaching the language of each discipline to a diverse
group of students. Workshops will engage you in all aspects of making, some
of which may extend beyond the boundaries to which you are accustomed
within your primary disciplines.  Projects are structured to guide you from
observation and perception to interpretation and transformation. Through
uncovering cultural identities, through mapping exterior and interior
realities of a place through a variety of disciplines, participants engage
in a fuller analysis and synthesis of their experience. However, this is
not merely a process of extraction, of absorbing a cultural essence;
participants will contribute in return.

Although this is a program developed by the College of Fine Arts, we are
seeking a broad range of students from across all colleges at CMU.  Find
out more about this program at an organizational meeting on Wednesday,
November 8th at 4:30 PM in the Art Gallery located on the first floor of
the University Center.  You will have an opportunity to talk with faculty
and students who participated in last year's program in Barcelona and see
some of their work being exhibited in the gallery.
