This quarter, the JSIS study abroad program is working on a NATO forum project, and their most recent workshop was chaired by guest Lone Kjelgaard, a Senior Legal Advisor at NATO Headquarters. They also recently took a class field trip to Pompeii. Below are some photos taken during their NATO forum workshop and Pompeii trip.
Last week the Communications program participated in a cooking class, and students highlighted this experience as one of their favorites so far! Below are some excerpts and photos which students shared about making the fabulous 4 course Italian meal from scratch.
“Last week, I was given the opportunity to learn how to make homemade pasta. My peers and I went to a cooking school called Cooking Classes in Rome where we learned how to make Roman-style artichokes, gnocchi and fettuccine with ragu Bolognese, and traditional tiramisu.” -Katherine Gleason
“The kitchen looked like it came straight out of a Food Network magazine, it was covered in stainless steel with dried herbs hanging near the ceiling and a large table completely covered with all the ingredients we needed.The best part however, was not the simply scrumptious tiramisu or the perfectly steamed artichokes, but the camaraderie that we strengthened with our classmates and with our professors. It was the understanding we formed about the history and significance of the food we created that made the food even more special. Moments like these make me appreciate having been selected to participate in this study abroad program.” -Kristin Lee
“Someone was rolling the dough through a mechanism to make the dough thinner and smoother. Once it was smooth it was transferred to a pasta guitar. That is the actual name of the contraption. It is quite easy to operate. All you do is roll the already thin dough until it is level with the wires, and then you pluck the strings. The pasta falls right down.” -Lyndsey Brollini
“Studying abroad is all about trying new things and moving out of your comfort zone, so I did and I loved it.” -Ashley Brooke
“The U.S Embassy to the Holy See (The Vatican) in Rome would like to bring your attention to the U.S. Department of State Student Internship Program. We are especially interested in students focused on communications, social and digital media, photography, video editing, and/or journalism. Please pass on this information to students who might be interested in this unique internship experience.”

Haoru Deng is a Senior at the University of Washington and is here in Rome with the JSIS program for 2 months. The program will stay until the beginning of March, and already the students have had some unique cultural experiences abroad. Below Haoru shares some of her favorite memories from the first half of her program trip.
“The first week, our class went on a field trip to the Roman Forum, where we found the perfect spot for a picture of the Colosseo.”
“The week after, our class took a trip to Ostia Antica and some of us decided to go down to the beach.”
Last week, the JSIS program was able to visit the Turkish Embassy in Rome and “we had the privilege of having afternoon tea with the Ambassador!” The students posed many insightful questions to the Ambassador and were able to hear the official Turkish viewpoint on a number of important political topics.
A group of the students were able to go to a Roma Soccer game that Rome won 4-0 last week! 
Overall, Haoru has had a wonderful time, learning a great deal from the field trips and classes she’s experienced with her program, and the day trips and events she has planned with friends. She cannot wait to share more about the second half of her trip with the JSIS program.
The Anthropology Food Program who studied in Rome this Autumn 2016, have compiled a video highlighting some of their favorite moments on their trip. Below is the link to the youtube video.
