“Every session had relevance in terms of gaining understanding of the Curia and strengthening knowledge that will enable me to better serve my institution, campus community, and larger community.”

—2018 Rome Seminar participant

The Rome Seminar offers presidents, senior administrators, and faculty leaders at ACCU member institutions a firsthand opportunity to explore the intellectual and spiritual legacy of the Catholic Church in order to strengthen and promote the mission of Catholic higher education. Just as importantly, it also gives participants an opportunity to act as ambassadors to Rome. Conducted and coordinated by ACCU senior staff and the staff of the Lay Centre at Foyer Unitas in Rome, the seminar offers a unique inside look at the Vatican and an inspiring experience of the Eternal City's spiritual treasures. Included are in-depth conversations with key representatives within the Holy See and Rome's pontifical universities.  

 

 

"I attended this Seminar in 2016 and found it to be such a deep and rich experience. It changed the way I think of our Church in the world."

— Moya Dittmeier, Executive Director, Conference for Mercy Higher Education

“It was important for helping me put a human face on ‘the Vatican,’ and I think the experience has planted the seeds for a deeper and richer appreciation of what we mean when we say ‘the Church.’”
