In late February, the University of Arkansas Rome Centerclosed its campus and directed students to return home. Then the university suspened all study abroad programs through this summer. Starting May 26, the Rome Center will offer virtual courses using interactive technology, video tours and interviews as an alternative for the nearly 150 students who would have been travelling to the campus this summer.
