Graduating - the culmination of years of hard work, new experiences, new challenges, new friends, new city, new country, new life...

And a time to reflect on how you got here and where you're going next.

So, some final words from the Class of 2024 before they took the next path and the next great adventure.

Studying Film at The American University of Rome
At the end of the Spring semester, AUR graduating Film students had the remarkable opportunity to debut their final capstone projects at The Space Cinema Moderno at Piazza della Repubblica in the heart of Rome. This was an incredible end to an amazing journey for these aspiring filmmakers - debuting their creations on the big screen to a packed house of friends, family, and fellow students while demonstrating the depth of learning & skills they have developed over their time at AUR... almost reads like a script for a movie in its own right! Congratulations to everyone involved—we can’t wait to see your future movies on big screens worldwide! hashtag#cinemamoderno hashtag#rome hashtag#italy hashtag#filmmaker hashtag#movie hashtag#film hashtag#studyabroad hashtag#americanuniversity hashtag#aur hashtag#WeAreAUR

AUR welcomes Harvard students to Rome for student summit.
AUR students from the AUR International Relations and Global Politics Club talk about their migration summit with Harvard Undergraduate Foreign Policy Initiative, 'Not A Migration Crisis, A Migration Reality' --the theme, the planning, and the expected results.

AUR students: explorers today, leaders tomorrow. For #GivingTuesday, AUR has launched a campaign to raise support for our Academic Field Trip fund - a fund that, through donors’ generosity, enables students who are constrained by financial circumstances to fully participate in AUR’s transformative field study trips. We live by the motto, ‘Rome is our classroom, Europe is our laboratory, and the world is our potential.’ Help us to continue to deliver for every student by donating today - no amount is too large or too small. To donate, visit https://zurl.co/mZH8 . #givingtuesday

We often say, ‘Rome is our classroom,’ and it really is. So many of our regular classes use the city as an extension for classroom learning. But, to complete the phrase coined by one of AUR’s co-founders, ‘Rome is our classroom, Europe is our laboratory, the World is our potential.” Nothing more clearly demonstrates this motto than AUR’s dedication to experiential field trips. Learning through travel and hands-on experience is something that few other universities can so readily manage. On a recent trip to Athens, we asked some students what they thought... #rome #italy #studyabroad #americanuniversity #fieldtrip #fieldtrips #studyineurope #education #greece #athens #AUR #WeAreAUR

After dedicated service for over 24 years, Professor Kathleen Fitzsimmons stepped back from classroom teaching in May 2022 - if you’re an alumnus, you’ll know that she’s still very much a part of the community and working on your behalf! One of AUR’s best-loved and most active professors, Fitzsimmons epitomizes AUR’s core values of teamwork & leadership and has been a role model and inspiration throughout her time in the classroom. To honor Professor Fitsimmons’ enormous and enduring contribution to AUR and her impact on the students she came into contact with, the university (with Professor Fitzsimmons’ enthusiastic support) established ‘The Fitzsimmons Scholarship for Women in Leadership.’ We’d like to introduce you to the first two recipients of that scholarship - two amazing leaders of the future. If you would like to contribute to this or any other AUR scholarship (and make a real impact on students’ lives), you’ll find a link below. https://zurl.co/ItxD #WeAreAUR #scholarship #studyabroad #americanuniversity #studyinitaly #rome #italy #scholarshipopportunities #education

Fall Break is officially over, and we couldn’t be happier to welcome our students back to a bustling campus! We caught up with them to find out what made last week unforgettable and how they made the most of their break. While some went on exciting trips all around Europe (and beyond), others relished a week free from classes and homework, taking much-needed time to unwind, recharge, and get ready for the second half of the semester! Here’s to that — may it be just as memorable as your Fall Break adventures! #BackToCampus #studentlife #WeAreAUR #meetourstudents #fallbreak #studyabroad #studyineurope #rome #italy #studyinitaly #americanuniversity #aurrome

We were delighted recently to welcome back AUR alum Simone Amorico. Simone graduated from AUR in 2004 and is now the CEO of “Access Italy,” a top luxury tourism company in Italy with clientele that has included Oprah and the Obamas. Simone agreed to sit for a short video interview with our resident videographer, Maria. Here are some of his thoughts on why AUR holds such importance in his life - and a little advice for potential students. Our heartfelt thanks to Simone for coming back and sharing his business experiences and his memories of AUR. #WeAreAUR #alumni #studyabroad #studyinrome #education #business #luxurytourism #tourism

Towards the end of 2023’s excavation season at the Aventinus Minor Project (AMP), we talked to some of the students involved directly in the archaeological process - our 2023 ‘diggers.’ There’s a longer video in production that covers some of the background to the project and the progress it has made in the last two years - but for now, let’s hear from some of the students who have been getting hands-on with this exciting archaeological excavation in the center of Rome. #WeAreAUR #theamericanuniversityofrome #rome #archaeology #excavation #AUR #AMP #project #dig

Another look at our 2022 Commencement Ceremony. Watch the full video on our YouTube channel - link in our bio. #WeAreAUR #classof2022 #graduation #goWolves

Go Wolves! Class of 2022 - you are amazing! Classes of 2020 & 2021 - we were so happy to see you back with us. This is just a teaser... we'll be uploading more videos here and to YouTube later. #WeAreAUR #Classof2022 #Classof2021 #Classof2020 #Graduation #Commencement #Rome #TheAmericanUniversityofRome #celebrate #VillaAurelia #AURWolves

Has an Italian ever said to you "In bocca al lupo"? Some Italians think wishing people luck in the good old fashioned way by saying “good luck” brings in fact bad luck. They therefore say “in bocca al lupo” or “in the mouth of the wolf” to which you should respond with “crepi il lupo” or “the wolf shall die”. Crazy or what! #SoundsofRome #WeAreAUR

Here's a little postcard for you, just in case you're missing those sunny days in our garden, with the twinkling trees as a perfect backdrop for your last minute studying ✨

That's Amore at AUR
We have a winner! Thank you to everyone who sent us their pictures for our Valentine's week 'That's Amore' special. We've been absolutely blown away by the response (and I've seen one or two of the professors and staff discreetly wiping an eye as they scrolled through the memories). Today, we randomly pulled a number out of the electronic hat - and it came up ... 14! Congratulations Brooke H. (an alumna from 2009). We loved the photo and the caption - a really worthy winner! Brooke kept it simple and said, "AUR had the best sense of community! I made forever friendships with fellow students, faculty, and staff!" We love you too Brooke (and everyone else who sent us their entries). Eataly prize winging its way to you asap - we hope it gives you a taste of home (your forever home, AUR!). #WeAreAUR #BrookeIsAUR #ThatsAmore #TheAmericanUniversityofRome
