The timeline of the course will follow a virtual trip to Italy. The first virtual stop will “land” in Frankfurt, home of the most important European continental airport as well as the European Central Bank (ECB), to discuss the layout of European economics. A “stopover” in Rome introduces Italian culture and history with a national overview. We move on to the northeastern Italian region of Veneto where we virtually tour local attractions, experience the culture, and talk to companies involved.
As a class, we will look at COVID’s impact on the EU and EuroZone, businesses, and international trade. Ultimately, we settle in with discussions about individual lives and responses.
We have multiple scholarships available!

The Young Alumni Board (YAB) Summer Mentor Program is for Tippie students who are interested in being connected with a Tippie alum during a six-week virtual mentoring program in Summer 2021. The mentor serves as a professional resource and helps you to build your professional network in your industry and/or city. Mentoring resources and guidelines will be provided to both the mentor and mentee. Matches to students are primarily based on industry interest and where applicable, in the same city.
Below is a bit more information about the program:
Who are the mentors? Tippie alums working in the mentee’s target industry and, where applicable, in the same city of their internship / volunteer opportunity.
How does it help? Provides access to the Hawkeye community outside Iowa City as well as insight into careers and professional opportunities.
How does it work? The alum mentor will contact the mentee at the beginning of summer and will meet with them at least three times virtually throughout the six-week program
How big of a time commitment is it? We will provide guidelines and resources in the program. Mentors and mentees will be asked to participate in a kick-off call, provide feedback via a mid-summer survey, and attend the program wrap-up call at the beginning of August. We will request that each alum connects with their mentee at least three times during the mentoring program.
How do I sign up? Apply here. The application period is open until April 9. Click on the button below to apply. You will receive your mentoring match via email by April 30.
