Dr. Pagliassotti and Professor Spehar-Fahey lead a Travel Seminar to Venice every other year. Imagining Venice covers a range of topics about the one-time republic, with a special focus on its place as a symbol within the cultural media and artifacts of the Western world.
Travel not only teaches you about other cultures, but also about yourself. When I take my students abroad, all I can do is put their feet on the road. After that, each student’s journey will be unique.

Ideas have a life. When the life of ideas connects to the individual lives and experiences of students, I remember that ideas aren’t just abstractions. To remember that is to remember why I got into this business in the first place.

Mathematics
I started as a math major, but added physics as a second major at the end of my first year. I was able to manage both majors since the lower division requirements for each major were very similar. I've tried to take at least one upper division math class and one upper division physics class each semester since my sophomore year. Having a deeper understanding of math helped me a lot in upper division physics classes.
