MONMOUTH, Ill. — Twenty-six Monmouth College students participated in a week-long college-sponsored trip to Rome earlier this month.

During their stay they visited the Roman Forum, Ostia (the ancient port of Rome), the Colosseum, the Vatican Museum and many churches including St. Peter's. They also attended a papal audience on Jan. 11.

Among the group were international business, classics, history and art majors. International business majors attended special sessions on telecommunications and language schools in Italy. The tour was led by MC faculty members Tom Sienkewicz (seated at right) and Cheryl Meeker (seated far left).
