“This trip, along with Drs. Heinen and De Simoni, opened that door for me. The firsthand experience has been amazing. For example, I’ve always heard about how large the Colosseum is and how it was a great feat for the ancient Romans. Being able to see and stand in it myself has solidified this for me. It held about as many people as Carter-Finley Stadium, and it was built almost 2,000 years ago!” – Bethany Steen, Classics Alive Summer 2025
