Plans are being made for a return trip to the Eternal City for our many Tech/Rome alumni and friends. Start making your plans now for this Fall 2016 trip and stay tuned from details as we work them out.
We will be posting information about the Tech / Rome website (http://techtravels.latech.edu) and on this Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1518139055086078/) as we receive it. It should be very special trip tentatively set for October 1 through 11, 2016.
Please help spread the information about the trip and invite others who might be interested to join our Facebook page.
To reserve your place, contact the Tech Travels office (jdonehoo@latech.edu). Space is limited so email us to reserve you a spot or two.
Ciao!
