Rome, September 16 - Dr. Robert Marino, President of The American University of Rome (AUR), announced today the enrollment of new degree-seeking students at the University increased by 15% this fall, compared to the same period last year. This represents a record enrollment of new AUR students who came to Rome from 23 different countries around the world, with most coming from the United States and Italy. The American University of Rome also welcomed a Study- Abroad class from universities and colleges across the United States and Europe, with several affiliates sending a record number of students. President Marino has announced a major reorganization for the University with the creation of an administrative department of Enrollment Services. Combining the offices of admissions, registration, and financial aid and encouraging them to work closely with the Associate Provost for Research and Assessment, Andrew Thompson, the Director for First Year Program, Diane Hyett, and Director of Student Life, Jamie Lynch, will benefit the University’s future enrollments. The first step taken by the University was to promote Registrar, Stefania Iorio to Associate Dean of Enrollment Services and Registrar and Assistant Registrar, Zoe De Smet to Enrollment Specialist. The next two administrators appointed to the Enrollment Services Department were Enrollment Specialists Hanna Suni, previously a Student Life Coordinator for five years at AUR and 2002 alumna, Arianna D’Amico, who moved from working with CEA Cultural Experiences Abroad to rejoin her alma mater where she served as Student Body President in 2001-02. “I am exceedingly pleased with formation of this highly qualified enrollment services staff. They all know AUR very well or have strong academic and employment backgrounds, which will serve the University well in their enrollment services roles. Each of them is multilingual and holds a masters’ degree from a very reputable university,” commented President Marino. The search for other highly qualified enrollment services staff continues as the University searches for a Website manager and a US based Admissions Counselor. Alumni are encouraged to help in the effort to recruit well qualified degree-seeking and study abroad students to AUR by contacting us online at www.aur.edu.
Racism in Italy: Then and Now Racism in Italy: Then and Now Conference explores past and present November 2008: On the 70th Anniversary of the Italian Racial Laws the Departments of International Relations and Italian Studies organized a conference at The American University of Rome titled “Racism in Italy then and now”. The morning sessions addressed the issues behind Fascist racism and its consequences both in Italy and the colonies. The afternoon sessions examined contemporary issues of racism in Italy today. Both sessions analyzed and described the extent and definition of racism, its justifications, its effects on the law and law enforcement, and its social consequences. Anna Balzarro, Manuela Caiani, Della Passarelli, Isabella Clough Marinaro were the AUR professors who contributed with their papers, while Professors James Walston and Catherine Ramsey-Portolano chaired the conference. Other contributors were Carl Levy, Goldsmiths, University of London, Nir Arielli, University of Leeds, Charles Burdett, University of Bristol, Alessandro Pes, University of Cagliari. The Auditorium got packed when Piero Terracina, an Auschwitz survivor from Rome, gave his moving but lucid account of the ordeal he had suffered in the camp. He said “Today I have been offered the possibility to testify and I’ve taken it aware that I have a duty towards those who no longer have a voice, those who found the most terrible death in those camps, mostly by gas, reduced to smoke and ashes in crematory ovens”.
