Buona Domenica Manhattan College!
Greetings from the Lasallian Universities Center for
Education (LUCE) Program Spring 2019 in Rome!
We are a group of six Jaspers (five students and one faculty
member) and students and faculty from Lewis University in Chicago, Saint Mary’s
University of Minnesota, and Universidad La Salle Neza in Mexico. Our program
coordinator is Dr. Dominic Colonna of Lewis University and our mentor and
assistant resident director is Brother Stephen Markham, FSC.
Roma, the Eternal City, is our classroom and our home is the
Christian Brothers Generalate, a most welcoming and peaceful place that houses
the relics of Saint John Baptist de La Salle. We are excited to study art
history, literature, Italian, Christian faith and the arts, present Italy, the
European Union, and international economics in one of the most elegant and
fascinating places in the world. We also participate in Lasallian Community and
Social Action assemblies and travel on a weekly basis.
We have just completed our first week of classes, and some
of us have been visiting Florence this weekend. Expect some great stories and photos from
the captivating birthplace of Italian Renaissance, soon. In the near future we
will have educational and service excursions to Napoli and Scampia, Assisi, and
Milan.
So stay tuned and follow us!
Warm regards from all of us,
Jessica Solan ’21, Rachel Runge ’21, Molly McGough ‘20,
Bianca Salazar ‘20, Aidan Gormley ‘21, and Natalia Boliari, Economics and
Finance Department, O’Malley School of Business
We are looking forward to reading about your adventures and enjoying many photos of your educational and service excursions. What an "Adventure with Service".
