On Sunday, Jan. 17, 56 University of Dallas students touched down in Italy for their Rome semester amid unexpected increasing restrictions regarding COVID-19.
Dr. Peter Hatlie, dean and director of the Rome program, explained, “When we announced that we would open up for the spring semester I thought that it was an all-clear. I had a strong understanding that by the time we got to Jan. 17 that, between the pharmaceutical companies and the masking, this crisis would be all over.”
However, on Jan. 15, local authorities switched Lazio, the region in which the UD Due Santi campus resides, from yellow to orange – moderate risk to high risk. This meant that, for students to enter the city of Rome, it must be for the distinct purpose of study.
