GO TO ROME.
I visited the Temple Rome campus last week and next week, I'll be hosting an info session in the Lounge at 5PM on Wednesday, to tell you why you should too.
If you're at all interested in going abroad to Rome, even the slightest inkling, I'll persuade you.

MEDIA AND SOCIETY (Advertising 1901.01, CRN: 31151)
Days/Times: Tuesday & Thursday, 2:00 to 3:20 PM
Professor: Dana Saewitz (dsaewitz@temple.edu)
About: The average adult consumes 15.5 hours of media each day. Media surrounds us in all of our daily activities (including when many of us are sleeping!) In this course we will examine ethical issues and the power and influence of media. We'll study the history of each form of media, but we'll spend most of our time looking at current events to see how they are framed and shaped by media's influence. We'll examine: •the ascendency of digital media and the rapid decline of traditional media •the impact of media on women's body image •children's media and representations of race, gender, and power •media and the political process (this will be quite interesting during the 2016 Presidential election) •the danger of media conglomeration •the future of books, libraries, and universities as well as the future of the TV, radio, music and film industry and much more. This class will be highly interactive and discussion-based. Current events will play a key role in shaping the class discussions. Students will choose their own research topic which they can explore in depth throughout the semester. About the
Professor: I have been teaching at Temple for over 11 years. This is my first time teaching in the Honors Program, and I am really looking forward to interesting and eye-opening class discussions with Honors students. I am very proud to have won the Junior Faculty Teaching Award from the School of Media and Communication in 2011. I am also a member of the Board of Governors of the Philly Ad Club and I am Co-Chair of the Philly Ad Club Students Committee. Prior to coming to Temple, I spent fifteen years working in the advertising business. I earned a Master's Degree at the University of Pennsylvania with a concentration in Media and Society. In my free time, I am a voracious reader and I actively participate in four separate book groups.
