Rome 50 Years Save The Date

Save the date: Join us in Rome in April 2019!

The School of Architecture is pleased to invite our alumni and friends to join us in Rome on April 10-14, 2019 as we gather to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Rome Studies Program. 

Since the establishment of the program in 1969, Rome has been integral to the personal and professional development of our graduates, and we hope that many of you will be able to join us in Rome, with your families, to reminisce about old memories and create new ones.
