Seventeen Osher Life Long Learning Institute students recently concluded an eight-day class and educational tour of Rome. The trip, which was organized by the University of Arkansas Rome Center and the Office for Study Abroad and International Exchange, was the first of its kind for OLLI and marked the institute's 10th anniversary.

"It was a pleasure to help host the OLLI students in Rome," said Davide Vitali, director of the university's Rome Center. "This was the first opportunity for the Rome Center to provide outreach and engagement to broader audiences of the university's academic community. We are thrilled to be able to provide tailored educational and cultural experiences to an even wider range of learners. It was rewarding for our faculty and staff to be part of these students' continued learning and see them experience a new culture, language and environment."
