Subject: Summer course in Italy
Colleagues:
I am asking your help to recruit Institute students for our summer course in Rome. It is a joint venture with Global Honors and IAS/Communications and we need a few more students to make it happen. You can find the details at:

international-programs/italy- technology-society-global- perspective
If you find useful, I can also come to your class during my “free” time. Just let me know.
Here is what one CSS student – who is already accepted in the program – wrote in his application:
“The Institute of Technology does not offer many study abroad programs. As a Computer Science major in the Institute of Technology, the Italy:Technology & Society will allow me the opportunity to explore the international job market in the field of technology. Studying abroad will open more possibilities for me to gain employment after I graduate. This program will give me an outside perspective of technology and help me understand how valuable this field is from a global perspective by exploring the technological relationship between the United States and other countries.”
I think his argument is both valid and sound, regardless of how you arrange the premises and the conclusion. If you agree, please share it with your students.
Many thanks.
Orlando
