CEA/UNH Host AACUPI Meeting in Rome

Early this month, the CEA Global Campus in Rome hosted the Autumn meeting of the Association of American College and University Programs in Italy (AACUPI). The annual event opens the academic year, bringing together representatives from member schools to speak about administrative and student service-related issues that affect all American study abroad programs in Italy, of which there are almost 150.

Representing CEA’s School of Record, UNH President Steven H. Kaplan was present at the event to offer a brief address to AACUPI members. He and Italy Academic Dean and Campus Director Kevin J.F. Murphy welcomed the Association to the CEA/UNH premises in Rome in a meeting that bridged two days. On Friday, October 1, a welcome reception for new AACUPI members was held at the CEA Global Campus in Rome. The event was an exciting opportunity for CEA and UNH to present the Global Campus to local colleagues.

CEA hosted the full member meeting on Saturday, October 2, at the nearby Villa Massimo. The Villa is the location of the German Academy in Rome, where German artists stay for periods of three months to pursue their work. A prestigious location a few minutes on foot from the Global Campus in Rome, the Villa Massimo offered an idyllic space and environment for this special occasion.

Since 2007, CEA Global Education has been a recognized member of AACUPI by virtue of its U.S.-based relationship with its School of Record, the University of New Haven.
