July 5, 2011
MB FINANCIAL, N.A., AS GUARDIAN OF THE ESTATE OF CHRISTINA ZVUNCA, A MINOR, PLAINTIFF,v.JEANINE L. STEVENS, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Before the Court are Motions for Sanctions from Cristina Zvunca ("Zvunca") and Jeanine Stevens ("Stevens"). For the reasons stated herein, the Motions are granted in part and denied in part.
Completely untangling the convoluted attorney-created procedural labyrinth from which these motions emerge is unnecessary to rule on the pending sanctions motions. However, some background on the route by which this morass developed is proper. Attorney David Novoselsky ("Novoselsky") filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County (The Estate of Cristina Zvunca v. Stevens, No. 09 L 6397), which contained numerous allegations, including that attorney Stevens abused Zvunca, who is a minor. Novoselsky dismissed this Illinois case with prejudice on July 13, 2010.
On August 11, 2010, two of the defendants in the Illinois case, Stevens and John Cushing, filed a timely motion for sanctions pursuant to Illinois Supreme Court Rule 137. Cook County Circuit Judge Daniel Pierce denied Novoselsky's motion to strike this sanctions motion on January 18, 2011. On February 3, 2011, Zvunca, through her appointed plenary guardian, Tiberiu Klein, and attorney John Xydakis ("Xydakis"), filed a motion to intervene in the sanctions motion. On February 4, 2011, Novoselsky filed the Notice of Removal from Cook County Circuit Court, which occurred prior to Judge Pierce's ruling on Zvunca's motion to intervene.
Thereafter, the floodgates burst, bringing a deluge of motions in federal court. Novoselsky filed: (1) Motion for Leave to File; (2) Motion to Disqualify; (3) Motion to Supplement Motion to Disqualify; (4) Counterclaim; (5) Motion to Dismiss; (6) 28 U.S.C. § 1927 Sanctions Motion against Stevens and Cushing; and (7) Third-Party Complaint brought on his own behalf against MB Financial Bank, Stevens, and Zvunca. (Also, this case was originally assigned to Judge Grady, but reassigned to this Court on February 22, by way of Novoselsky's Motion to Reassign, as the Executive Committee found it related to Case No. 08 C 4507 previously before this Court.) In addition to Novoselsky filing an appearance on behalf of himself, Brian Schroeder and Mark Johnson have filed appearances on behalf of Novoselsky.
On March 2, the Court granted Zvunca's Motion to Remand, which Stevens had joined, as the Court lacked subject matter jurisdiction because no action existed in state court that Novoselsky could remove to federal court. The Court later denied Novoselsky's Motion to Reconsider, and gave Stevens and Zvunca until March 31, 2011, to file their sanctions Motions.
A. 28 U.S.C. § 1927 Sanctions
Zvunca moves for sanctions against Novoselsky pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1927. Under § 1927, an attorney "who so multiplies the proceedings in any case unreasonably and vexatiously may be required by the court to satisfy personally the excess costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred because of such conduct." 28 U.S.C. § 1927. The Seventh Circuit has set forth reasons to impose such sanctions:
[A] court has discretion to impose § 1927 sanctions when an attorney has acted in an objectively unreasonable manner by engaging in serious and studied disregard for the orderly process of justice; pursued a claim that is without plausible legal or factual basis and lacking in justification; or pursue[d] a path that a reasonably careful attorney would have known, after appropriate inquiry, to be unsound.
The Jolly Grp., Ltd. v. Medline Indus., 435 F.3d 717, 720 (7th Cir. 2006)(quotations and internal citations omitted). The party moving for sanctions must show subjective bad faith "only if the conduct under consideration had an objectively colorable basis." Dal Pozzo v. Basic Mach. Co., Inc., 463 F.3d 609, 614 (7th Cir. 2006). Objective bad faith requires only reckless indifference to the law, not malice or ill will. See id.
Zvunca argues that such sanctions are warranted because Novoselsky pursued claims that had no legal or factual basis when he removed the Rule 137 proceeding from state court. In part, Illinois Supreme Court Rule 137 reads: "All proceedings under this rule shall be brought within the civil action in which the pleading, motion or other paper referred to has been filed, and no violation or alleged violation of this rule shall give rise to a separate civil suit, but shall be considered a claim within the same civil action." ILL. SUP. CT. R. 137 (emphasis added); see also Tech. Innovation Ctr., Inc. v. Advanced Multiuser Techs. Corp., 732 N.E.2d 1129, 1133 (Ill. App. 2000)("A Rule 137 petition is part of the underlying action and not a separate action.").
A plain reading of rule shows that Novoselsky's removal was meritless. This does not require a complex legal analysis. The crux of Novoselsky's argument for removal was that once Zvunca attempted to intervene in the state case, diversity existed. This is a curious argument for Novoselsky to make to support removal, as he states that he is a citizen of Wisconsin, and as such, there was no need for Zvunca to intervene for diversity to exist. Further, Novoselsky admits that the state court had not yet granted Zvunca's petition to intervene prior to him seeking removal. See Resp. to Petition for Attorney Fees and Costs, ECF No. 54, Apr. 12, 2011.
Novoselsky succeeds, through his own convoluted arguments, in demonstrating that an objectively reasonable attorney who undertook a cursory review of case law and the facts of the case would have never attempted to remove the Rule 137 proceeding from state court.
Thereafter, Novoselsky's extensive arguments against remanding the case cite no case law to support his position. This is because no case law exists holding that a Rule 137 motion is a separate action. Novoselsky tendered meritless arguments in his desperate attempt to keep the case here. Also, once he got the case into federal court, he used the window of time he had here to file a motion to dismiss the state court sanctions proceedings, as well as a counterclaim, third-party complaint, and even a frivolous § 1927 motion, which argues that Stevens and Cushing should be sanctioned for their state court filings. Such unreasonable actions burdened the parties and constitute objective bad faith.
Novoselsky argues that Zvunca was not a party to this case, while ignoring that he filed a counterclaim and third-party complaint against her. Again, his own actions defeat his arguments. His rationale ignores his past filings, and appears to be a desperate attempt to maintain baseless arguments. In this end, Novoselsky cannot argue around the fact that the state-court sanctions motion was not a separate cause of action, so his actions here constitute vexatious and unjustified litigation.
Novoselsky created and unreasonably multiplied the proceedings in federal court, and must pay the consequences. Zvunca's § 1927 Sanctions Motion is granted. The Court agrees with Novoselsky, however, that Zvunca's claim for $20,310.00 in sanctions is excessive. Contrary to Novoselsky's argument, an evidentiary hearing is not necessary to determine the appropriate sanctions, as such a hearing would not assist the Court in its decision. See Kapco Mfg. Co., Inc. v. C & O Enters., Inc., 886 F.2d 1485, 1495 (7th Cir. 1989). Novoselsky has been afforded the opportunity to respond to Zvunca's demand through court filings. No further information is necessary for this ruling.
Zvunca's claim appears excessive considering Stevens' demand for only $2,432.00. Stevens' Motion, however, includes time spent for drafting only one motion. Zvunca's Motion includes work by Xydakis on multiple motions and briefs. Xydakis appears to have taken the lead in this matter, and his claim for sanctions is supported with a detailed accounting of his time and signed declarations. The Court believes Xydakis's representation that he worked extensively on this matter and spent the time he claims on this case. The Court also believes, however, that the appropriate sanctions should not be as high as Zvunca seeks. Accordingly, the Court cuts Zvunca's requested sanctions in half, and finds Novoselsky personally liable for $10,155.00 for violating § 1927. Also, because all filings were signed by Novoselsky, and he appears to be the motivating force behind this litigation, attorneys Brian Schroeder and Mark Johnson are not liable for these § 1927 sanctions.
Further, the Court may sanction Novoselsky sua sponte pursuant to § 1927, "as long as it provides [him] with notice regarding the sanctionable conduct and an opportunity to be heard." Jolly Grp., 435 F.3d at 720. The analysis above also pertains to Stevens' Motion. While Stevens did not file her Motion pursuant to § 1927, Novoselsky has been given notice of such sanctionable conduct and a chance to respond to it through Zvunca's Motion. Accordingly, the Court sanctions Novoselsky pursuant to § 1927 for his actions relating to Stevens, and finds him liable to her for $2,432.00. Again, Schroeder and Johnson are not liable for this amount.
B. 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) Sanctions
Both Zvunca and Stevens also move for sanctions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c), which provides that "[a]n order remanding the case may require payment of just costs and any actual expenses, including attorney fees, incurred as a result of the removal." Such expenses stretch from the commencement of the removal process until eventual remand, and are limited to expenses relating directly to the removal action. See Tenner v. Zurek, 168 F.3d 328, 330 (7th Cir. 1999). Such an award is discretionary. See Castellanos v. U.S. Long Distance Corp., 928 F.Supp. 753, 756 (N.D.Ill. 1996).
For the reasons stated in the § 1927 analysis, the Court exercises its discretion and sanctions Novoselsky pursuant to § 1447(c) as to both Zvunca and Stevens. The Court will not permit double recovery, however, as the § 1927 sanctions more than cover the amounts that would have been recoverable under § 1447(c).
C. Rule 11(c) Sanctions
Finally, both Zvunca and Stevens move for sanctions for Novoselsky's alleged violations of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b). Procedurally, such sanctions would be improper, as the motions do not comply with the Rule 11(c)(2) requirement that the motion be separate from any other motion. See Avent v. Solfaro, 223 F.R.D. 184, 187--88 (S.D.N.Y. 2004). Accordingly, the motions for Rule 11(c) sanctions are denied.
D. Other Pending Motions
A number of motions in this case remain open. As a matter of housekeeping, in regard to motions filed prior to when this case was remanded back to state court, Novoselsky's Motion for Leave to File is granted; Novoselsky's Motion to Disqualify Counsel John Xydakis is denied; Novoselsky's Motion to Supplement is denied; Novoselsky's Motion to Dismiss is denied as moot; Novoselsky's Motion for Award of Fees, Expenses and Costs Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1927 is denied, as it sought sanctions for actions that the attorneys took in state court; Stevens' Motion for Joinder is granted, nunc pro tunc, to March 2, 2011; and Zvunca's Motion to Stay is denied as moot.
Several motions have also been filed after Zvunca and Stevens filed their March 31, 2011, sanctions motions. First, Zvunca filed another sanctions motion against Novoselsky, James Dahl, and MB Financial Bank on May 20, 2011. The motion reads like a Rule 11 motion, but does not specifically seek sanctions pursuant to Rule 11 and does not comply with the Rule 11 safe harbor provision. Rather, it appears to ask the Court to exercise its inherent power to invoke sanctions. See Corley v. Rosewood Care Ctr., Inc., 142 F.3d 1041, 1058--59 (7th Cir. 1998). Such sanctions, however, "must be invoked with the utmost caution." Id. at 1059. The Court will not invoke sanctions for the false statements Zvunca alleges, and accordingly denies Zvunca's second sanctions motion. The Court also denies MB Financial Bank's Motion to Strike Zvunca's May 20 motion, and denies Novoselsky's Motion for Sanctions that relates to Zvunca's May 20 motion. Further, Novoselsky's Motion to Quash Notice of Subpoena is granted. There is no need for any discovery at this point. It is time for the parties to disperse, settle their remaining issues in state court, and bring an end to what has become an unreasonable and unnecessary drain on judicial resources.
For the reasons stated herein, Stevens' March 31, 2011, Motion for Sanctions is granted in part and denied in part, and Zvunca's March 31 Motion for Sanctions is granted in part and denied in part. Novoselsky is personally liable to Zvunca for $10,155.00, and personally liable to Stevens for $2,432.00.
The other open motions in this case are granted and denied as set forth in Section II.D. above.

BioFamed for his trailblazing work as the singer and guitarist for the seminal New York punk band Television, Tom Verlaine also carved out an acclaimed and eclectic solo career. Born Thomas Miller in Wilmington, Delaware in 1949, Verlaine (who borrowed his name from the French symbolist poet) was trained as a classical pianist, but gravitated toward rock music after an encounter with the Rolling Stones' "19th Nervous Breakdown." In 1968, he and bassist Richard Meyers (later Richard Hell) moved to New York's Lower East Side, where they and drummer Billy Ficca formed the group the Neon Boys. After the addition of second guitarist Richard Lloyd, the band renamed itself Television.
Beginning with their landmark 1975 debut single "Little Johhny Jewel," Television became one of the most renowned groups on the burgeoning New York underground scene; though lumped together with the punk phenomenon, the band's complex songcraft — powered by Verlaine's strangled vocals, oblique lyrics and finely-honed guitar work — clearly set them apart from their peers. However, after only two albums, 1977's classic Marquee Moon and the disappointing 1978 follow-up Adventure, Television disbanded, and Verlaine started a solo career.
He resurfaced in 1979 with a self-titled debut which featured the song "Kingdom Come," later covered by avowed fan David Bowie. 1981's dense Dreamtime earned significant acclaim, and even hit the U.S. album charts. Both 1982's diverse Words From the Front and 1984's Cover drew raves from the British press, spurring Verlaine to take up residency in London. After a three-year hiatus, he returned with Flash Light, regarded as one of his best solo efforts. Following 1990's The Wonder, Television briefly reformed for a self-titled album and tour; the group again broke up, however, and in 1992 Verlaine issued his first instrumental LP, Warm and Cool. In 1994, he composed the score for the film Love and a .45.

"Market square" Valkininkai Things to Do Tip by yumyum
Valkininkai Things to Do: 2 reviews and 7 photos
It is hard to imagine that this large and almost triangular market square was once full of life. These days it's surrounded by small houses, mostly wooden ones. One section is covered in trees and there seems to be a bus stand, although I'm not sure if there are still buses. If so, then they are probably very rare. In the evening the bus stand is used as a meeting point for the local youth to drink beer.

The city of Bologna, located in northern Italy, has its own distinct medieval beauty. Centered at the crossroads of Italy, this city of approximately half-a-million people is home to one of the oldest universities in the world. It is just a train ride away from the art of Florence, the fashionable streets of Milan and the historic city of Venice. Bologna, designated an official European "city of culture" in 2000, is also a major center for trade fairs, where businesses and industries showcase everything from the latest developments in technology to the newest cars, perfumes and books.

The Bologna Program was first offered in 1965 and is Dickinson's oldest education abroad program. That year eight seniors and eight juniors sailed to Italy on the S.S. Castel Felice. The program now has more than 1,000 alumni. The University of Bologna has been in operation for 900 years and has a student population exceeding 80,000 students.
Named in honor of its first Director, the K. Robert Nilsson Center for European Studies in Bologna is the academic home for Dickinson in Italy. Courses at the center are taught by Italian faculty and by the Center's Resident Director, a member of the Dickinson faculty. The curriculum focuses on Europe and includes courses in international relations, history, economics, political science, fine arts, Italian studies, and international business and management. Independent study that focuses on a specific research topic is an option as well.
The expectations to apply for this program are as follows:
- 3.0 cumulative GPA
- A demonstrated academic interest in the core areas of the program.
- All students must have a declared major at the time of application.
- As a part of the review process students' conduct records and account status are also reviewed. Students and their parents should note that the review process takes all elements of the student's academic record into consideration and that even if a student meets the expected GPA requirements, he or she may not be admitted.
- Interviews may be conducted at the discretion of the faculty coordinator and/or CGSE in order to access a candidate's eligibility for this program.
Students who have questions about the review process or their particular candidacy for a program should come into the Center for Global Study and Engagement for advising.
Center staff will not discuss students' applications with parents, friends or any other party without the student's consent and presence in the conversation.
Note: This program has a maximum capacity and usually generates a competitive applicant pool. Students are encouraged to work with their academic advisor and CGSE advisor to determine whether or not this is the best program for them. It is possible that not all eligible students will be admitted. In a competitive applicant pool preference may be given to students who have studied Italian.
Students engage in interdisciplinary study of the contemporary issues facing Europe and use Italy as a window through which to view Europe at large. They can expect to come away with an understanding of European history and culture and an appreciation of Italy's role within Europe.
Students with a strong command of the Italian language may take courses through direct enrollment at the University of Bologna. Since knowledge of Italian enriches the experience of living in Bologna, all students will take an appropriate level of Italian language as one of their four courses. Students without Italian may be able to direct enroll in business and economics courses taught in English at the University of Bologna.
Upon arrival, students will take part in orientation. All students are required to take an Italian language course at their appropriate level, which will count as one of their four courses taken during the semester. Italian 101 will be taught at the Center while students in intermediate Italian will go to SAIS-Hopkins and students with advanced Italian will go to the University of Bologna for their language courses. Students typically enroll in four courses each semester. Semester-only students will receive a total of four credits. Academic year students will enroll in another four courses during the spring semester, and receive a total of eight credits.
During the spring semester, academic-year students may conduct internships.
During the fall and spring semesters, a small number of exceptionally well-qualified students (both semester-only and academic year) may be granted the opportunity to enroll in graduate-level courses at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies on a space-available basis.

Course Descriptions:
POSC 250: West European Government and Politics- This course provides a general overview to West European politics and the different political configurations that exist in the major West European countries. The course outlines some of the common features of the region's ongoing political development (e.g. democratization, institutionalization of the welfare state, and political integration within the European Union) as well as the differences among today's national systems of political organizations. The Bologna version of this course will include detailed examination of Italian politics.
POSC 270/INST 270: The European Union- The European Union (EU) remains a work-in-progress, and this course will help students to contextualize the EU's development since the mid-1950s, understand the way that it currently functions, and think about how it is likely to evolve in the future. Substantively, the course covers the theory and history of European integration; the EU's unusual (and evolving) institutional structure and political processes; the major policy areas of the EU; and the power dynamics between the EU and it member states.
POSC 290/INST 290/Security Studies: Transatlantic Relations- This course will examine the post-World War II history and the current condition of the relationship between the United States and Europe. It will focus on the institutional dimension of this relationship and on its evolution within the framework of the Atlantic community. It will also consider the economic, strategic, political and cultural dimensions of US-European relations and how they have changed over the years. Particular attention will be paid to specific transitions (i.e.: the Cold War, the 1970s, the end of the Cold War, 9/11) and to the frequent controversies within the Atlantic alliance and between the United States and some of its European allies.
POSC 290/INST 290/Security Studies Certificate Past and Future of Transatlantic Relations. Professor Alessandra Bitumi. Taught in English
This course will examine the post-World War II history and the current condition of the relationship between the United States and Europe. It will focus on the institutional dimension of this relationship, its evolution within the framework of the Atlantic community and the sometimes divergent security views of the US and of its main European partners. In addition to security issues, it will also consider the economic, political and cultural dimensions of US-European relations and how they have changed over the years. Particular attention will be paid to specific transitions (i.e.: the Cold War, the 1970s, the end of the Cold War, 9/11) and to the frequent controversies within the Atlantic alliance and between the United States and some of its European allies.
POSC 290/INST 290/Security Studies Certificate The Politics of Migration in the European Union. Professor Michela Ceccorulli. Taught in English
The objective of this course is to understand how the European Union (EU) deals with the many-faceted phenomenon of migration and, hence, which policies have been adopted to reap its opportunities and to manage its potential challenges. Starting from basic concepts this course goes through the economic, social, political and security aspects of migration and focuses on the approach undertaken by the European Union and by selected Member-States. Also, the course investigates how migration is discussed by the political élites and by the media and how it is received by the public opinion with a glance at integration approaches, multiculturalism challenges and the perceived links with state, societal and human security.
HIST 213/Comparative Civilizations History of the Mediterranean. Professor Alessandro Vanoli. Taught in English
The course is an introduction to the history and culture of the Mediterranean from a cross-disciplinary perspective. We will examine the ways in which the sea has served over time as a medium of contact, exchange, and interaction among multiple societies, nations, religions, ethnicities, and languages. Moreover, we will discuss the political and social identities that defined the history of the Mediterranean. We will focus in particular on the Islamic World: on its history and its contemporary changing. In this sense, the new Mediterranean and European Islamic presence will the object of a specific analysis.
HIST 232 / ITAL 323 (with FLIC): Modern Italy- A survey of social, cultural, and political developments from the beginnings of the Risorgimento in the 18th century to the post-war period, including the effects of the Napoleonic period, the unification of Italy, World War I, Fascism, World War II, and the Cold War.
ARTH 205: Reading Bologna & Italy from the Renaissance to the Baroque- This course will offer an introduction to the major visual traditions in Italy from the 15th to the 17th century, with a particular attention on Bolognese art. It will examine the development of art and architecture in Italy, and the effects that the Italian society, economy and politics had on the production of art during these centuries. Works of art will be studied through methods that will show their intellectual, religious and social connections to a larger historical context. A part of the course will consist of visits that will allow a direct observation of paintings. Some lessons will be held in churches or museums in order to understand better the context for which works of art were designed.
ARTH 205 Art in Bologna from the end of the 15th century to the middle of the 17th century. Professor Elisabetta Cunsolo. Taught in English
This course offers an introduction to the major visual traditions in Italy from the 15th to the 17th century, with a particular focus on Bolognese art. It examines the development of art and architecture in Italy, and the effects that the Italian society, economy and politics had on the production of art during those centuries. Works of art are studied through basic methods that show their intellectual, religious and social connections to the historical context in which they were created. Part of the course is made of visits that will allow a direct observation of the artworks. Some lessons will be held in churches, palaces and museums in order to understand better the original context of each masterpiece.
INBM 300 / ECON 214: European Economic History- The course provides a broad view of economic developments in the "Old World" from the beginning of the trade and industrial revolutions in the XVI century to the present. It covers the flourishing of Italian Renaissance and its decline, the rise of the British empire and the conquest of the "New World", mercantilism, the features of the industrial revolutions, the different models of industrialization, the gold standard and the first wave of globalization before World War I, the impact of the two World Wars and of the 1929 crisis, the rise and demise of the Soviet Union, reconstruction after World War II, and the main features of the process of European integration.
INBM 300 Fundamentals of Business Operations Management. Professor Michele Zincani. Taught in English
This course has been designed for students who wish to learn and understand more about the role that operations management plays in manufacturing and service organizations. The syllabus covers some of the basic approaches used in operations management - such as: capacity and materials planning; the relationship between process flow, layout, technology and organizational choices; demand management, aggregate planning and inventory management. It then discusses the importance of improving quality and productivity along with a few of the most popular methods to drive improvement in organizations.
One of the distinguishing traits of this learning experience is the ability to visit actual organizations within the Italian manufacturing environment, which may include food or pharmaceutical processing plants, automotive or complex industrial equipment manufacturers, as well as medical devices facilities. The plant tours provide a unique opportunity for the students to observe some of the very processes they are studying in class on the field and to interact with the workers and the professionals who share the responsibility to manage resources.
IT 300 Foods, Landscapes and Cultures of southern Italy. Professor Tullio Pagano. Taught in Italian
In this course we will study the relationships between the landscapes of Southern Italy and their culinary traditions, by situating them in a global context that will take into account the role played by the cultural and economic exchanges within the Mediterranean, Northern Europe and across the Atlantic. We will place a special emphasis on the regions of Campania and Sicily by examining selected literary texts, music, theatrical works and films that helped shape the complex identities of these regions. We will study also the conflicting relationship between Southern and Northern Italy that developed since the Unification and have continued until the present.
ITAL 101: Elementary Italian. (2 sections)- Intensive study of the fundamentals of Italian grammar, with a view to developing reading, writing, speaking, and understanding skills. Cultural elements are stressed as a context for the assimilation of the language.
Qualified students may take additional courses at the University of Bologna and Johns Hopkins University Graduate Center. Most of the courses offered at the University of Bologna are taught in the Italian language although there are courses in English, especially in the Economics and Business Departments. Please find more information in the sections below.
Independent studies will be limited to one per year per student depending on students' needs and availability of instructors.
Internship placement is restricted to full year students. Please note that due to the competitiveness for internship placements, there is no guarantee that everyone will be able to participate in an internship (as part of the Intercultural Seminar). These will be based on the student's command of Italian, academic performance, and a personal interview.
Dickinson Italian Studies majors planning to take courses at the University of Bologna should read the Bologna Handbook carefully, especially "FAQ About Courses Toward the Italian Studies Major in Bologna."
Courses at the Johns Hopkins School:
Students interested in these classes will take an online placement test upon arrival. Italian majors and minors need to meet with their Italian advisors to discuss how the classes will be counted.
A list of courses at The Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS) will be available in Bologna during registration for the second semester. Enrollment will be competitive and is open only to academic year students. There are only four student openings, and acceptances will depend on academic performance and an interview. We cannot promise admission into any Johns Hopkins program course in advance.
No more than two students each semester may be eligible to take graduate classes at SAIS. A GPA of 3.5 or more is required. Students will have to talk to the Bologna program director and do an interview with SAIS faculty upon arriving in Bologna.
Courses at the University of Bologna:
Italian Studies majors or students with advanced Italian language fluency may take courses in Italian at the University of Bologna at http://www.unibo.it/
In the fall of 2016 over a dozen students have been taking classes at UniBo in disciplines ranging from Sociology, Religion, Philosophy, American Studies, Business and Management and more. Students interested in taking courses at the University of Bologna need to talk to their advisors to see how these courses may count toward their major. The staff in Bologna will do their best to place students in UniBo courses, but they may conflict with the academic calendar of the Dickinson Center in Bologna.
Taking a course at the University of Bologna requires a serious commitment. The UniBo calendar differs from that of the Dickinson program, and classes may be in session while the Dickinson program is on break or over U.S. holidays, such as Thanksgiving. Students are expected to attend all UniBo classes during these times. Students may also have to stay longer into June to complete exams or other course requirements. Most classes at UniBo are three times a week for two hours, which can create scheduling conflicts with classes offered at the Dickinson Center. It can be difficult to find a UniBo class that fits a student's interest and schedule, so students should not assume that they will definitely attend one while in Bologna.
That said, taking a UniBo course is highly recommended for students with adequate Italian fluency.
How is instruction different?
Teaching methods combine the best of the Italian and American educational systems. Due to the diversity of the faculty, there are various ways in which they teach (some straight lecture) and in the way they grade and evaluate student work. This is all part of the cultural and academic learning experience that students will encounter here in Bologna. Students in the program are expected to carry a full course load, which in Bologna means 4 credits (courses) each semester to be taken while classes are in session, and to regularly attend those classes for which credit is sought. If special circumstances warrant an absence for reasons other than illness, students should notify the Resident Director and/or the professor of the circumstances.
When will I register for classes?
Students will choose their courses upon arrival in Bologna.
Will the courses count towards my major?
Check with your major advisor before choosing courses.
Will they count in my GPA?
Dickinson Center: The courses offered at the Dickinson Center are listed on a student's transcript with titles and grades and will be calculated in the Dickinson GPA. If a course is cross-listed, it is up to the student to decide what credit it will count for on their transcript.
John Hopkins: Courses taken at Johns Hopkins (SAIS) will be listed on the Dickinson transcript with titles and grades. The grade, however, will not be used in calculating the GPA.
University of Bologna: Courses taken at the University of Bologna are also listed on the Dickinson transcript with titles and grades, but will not be calculated into a student's GPA. For full details and the official grade conversion scale in effect for University of Bologna courses, see Appendix II at the end of the handbook. Coursework taken in cooperating institutions abroad is transferable provided grades equivalent to a Dickinson "C" (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) or better have been earned. To find out more information about the University of Bologna, please visit http://www.unibo.it/.
What is a full course load and How will my courses transfer?
Students must take a normal full load as defined by their program. Students may not under-enroll under any circumstances. If a student registers for more than the maximum courses allowed without permission from the Resident Director, their academic advisor at Dickinson, and the Center for Global Study and Engagement, the course credit will not transfer. Students will also be responsible for any additional fees for doing this.
Each Dickinson course in Bologna earns one course credit (equal to four (4) semester hours). The normal course load during each semester is four (4) courses, for a total of eight (8) courses for the year.
Only liberal arts classes will qualify for transfer credit.
Generally speaking, courses must have an equivalent at Dickinson. Exceptions include classes that focus on the culture and/or history of the country in which the student is studying.
Transfer credit will not be awarded for coursework that duplicates what a student has already completed at Dickinson.
Transfer credit is awarded only for classes in which a student earns a grade of "C" or better. However, all courses and grades will appear on the transcript, along with the corresponding grades.
Is there a language requirement?
There is no requirement to speak Italian to participate in the program, but all students enrolled in the program will take one class in the Italian language at their appropriate level. With the exception of courses taught in English, every aspect of the program is designed to facilitate the interaction of formal study with the knowledge of Italian society and language, which comes through cultural immersion. You will find that formal classroom activities are supplemented and reinforced by immersion in Italian life and culture, which enhances understanding of the values, beliefs, and attitudes of Italian culture.
Academic Excursions
Does this program include any group travel once I'm in country?
Participants in this program typically take part in day excursions to numerous historic and cultural sites around Bologna as components of orientation and some Center courses. There are two overnight group trips taken each semester to different locations in Italy. Each trip lasts for two days and one night, and the trip destinations vary from year to year.
What expenses are covered during excursions?
Students' lodging costs will be covered during overnight excursions, and at least one group meal is also included. Group transportation to and from the excursion site, as well as group travel and entrance tickets for all group activities will be covered. Students will not be reimbursed for personal travel and personal activities during an academic excursion.
When will I find out where and when we're travelling?
Specific dates and locations for the multi-day excursions will be announced at the beginning of the each semester. Site visits in and around Bologna will be organized and announced by the professor during throughout the semester.
Can a friend or family member who is not on the program also travel with us?
No, unfortunately, for logistical and academic reasons non program participants are not able to join the program for excursions
Are excursions optional?
Some of these excursions are linked to your academic program and, therefore, could be mandatory. In some cases, content delivered through the excursion will be relevant to a student's studies and assessment. All students should plan to participate in all excursions. If a student misses an excursion or a planned departure for a trip, these arrangements and costs will not be made up for the student. It is each student's responsibility to be where they need to be in order to participate fully in each academic excursion.
Dates and Flights
When is orientation?
In addition to the mandatory pre-departure orientation on campus, there will be an on-site orientation for this program. In Bologna, students' on-site orientation occurs from the moment you arrive in the city: staff meet you at the airport and arrange for your transfer to your housing. Orientation meetings continue for the first week in Bologna.
During the orientation you will meet and work with the on-site Directors, Professor Russell Bova and Professor Clarissa Pagni, as well as our Program Associate and Bologna program alumna, Ellen Laird. Orientation events include a tour of the K. Robert Nilsson Center and city, an overview of Bologna's public transportation system, course registration meetings, and an overview of your health and safety while studying in Italy. Intensive Italian language instruction also begins.
What are the program dates?
Dickinson in Italy ACADEMIC CALENDAR
Students on this program are given an arrival window when they are asked to arrive in Bologna (BLQ). A group flight option is frequently offered.
Is there a group flight?
Yes. Dickinson typically asks a travel agent to organize a suggested group flight for this program. Once available, Advantage Travel (1-800-788-1980) will contact you with the suggested group flight itinerary and fare. Note that this is a contract between you and the travel agent, so students should direct their questions to the agent and not the CGSE. Some students may choose not to take advantage of the suggested group flight; however they still must arrive on the designated arrival date and time, either before or at the same time as the suggested group flight. Even if you are taking the suggested group flight, we ask that you communicate your arrival plans with the on-site Directors and the CGSE. To notify the CGSE, you should enter the flight information in your online application.
What if my family wants to visit me?
If you have family or friends who are planning to visit you, please do not make travel plans until you arrive at the program and become familiar with your class schedule and program excursions. It is not acceptable to skip class for personal travel
When will I have time to travel?
You will travel in and around Bologna and parts of northern Italy on academic excursions. Exact dates for the excursions will be announced once the semester begins. Many students also travel on their own during breaks and major Italian holidays when classes are not in session.
Can I arrive early or stay after the program ends?
Students may not arrive early or stay late without the written approval of the on-site Directors. Please note that if you choose to arrive early or stay late, you will not be able to stay in your apartment. You should also consider your visa validity when you make the decision of whether or not you may arrive early or stay late. No student may arrive late for the start of the program.
How do I access health care in Bologna?
Good medical care is available in Bologna. An English-speaking physician is available for program students and program staff will help you with arranging initial appointments. You will be responsible for paying the office fee and submitting receipts to your insurance company for reimbursement.
How much will it cost to go the doctor?
Approximately €25 per visit.
Dickinson also provides students with medical and travel security assistance through International SOS. Please visit our Health and Insurance Abroad page for more information.
How much does the program cost?
The program budget sheet can be found at the top of this page to the left of the 'Apply Now' button.
What is included in the program fee?
The fee includes tuition, room, board, academic excursions and emergency insurance. Airfare and visa fees are not included. The budget sheet also lists additional fees students should anticipate.
Is my flight included?
The flight is not included but the cost is taken into consideration when your financial aid need is calculated for your semester abroad.
How much extra money do I need to bring?
This depends on you. We encourage students to not travel every weekend, but to really engage their host city in meaningful ways during their semester abroad. An estimate of personal expenses is included on the budget sheet, but it really depends on you and your spending habits.
Will I receive a stipend?
Periodically (normally every two weeks), the Resident Director will distribute the food stipend through the Banca Popolare dell'Emilia Romagna. You will be able to pick up this money directly from the bank. You will also have the opportunity to open up a bank account at the Banca Popolare dell' Emilia Romagna if you wish to do so. In this case, your food stipend money would be deposited directly into your account. You are responsible for budgeting food money. The central food market is where many students shop for fresh fruit, cheese, meat, and bread. While shopping here is fun, it is cheaper to buy larger groceries at a supermarket.
How will I access my money in Bologna?
ATMs connected to international networks such as Cirrus and Plus allow you to retrieve cash in the local currency directly from your bank account in the United States. Inquire at your bank to be sure that your ATM card will allow cash withdrawals abroad. ATMs overseas will accept only cards that access checking accounts in your name. Some students also choose to open a bank account with the Banca Popolare dell'Emilia-Romagna.
Can I work part time?
College Work Study positions entailing 4-8 hours a work each week are available in Bologna. You must indicate that you would like to be considered for CWS employment in Bologna; the Financial Aid Office will notify you if CWS will be part of your financial aid package. CWS payments are made monthly; earnings will be deposited directly into each student's designated U.S. bank account.
Where will I live?
Students live in apartments scattered across the historic center of Bologna. Distance to the Dickinson Center will vary, but is typically no more than a 20-25 minute walk and often much less.
Who will I live with?
The Dickinson Center staff determines apartment assignments. Student roommate preferences are solicited and are taken into account, but requests cannot be guaranteed. Depending on size, apartments will typically house 3-5 students.
How are the apartments configured?
Apartments configurations vary, but all include a kitchen, a bath, and a sleeping and study space. There are no laundry facilities in the apartments.
Is there a meal plan?No, students in Bologna do their own cooking. A variety of options for food shopping are found throughout the historic center of the city. They include all-purpose markets, fruit and vegetable stands, specialty shops for buying things like bread and cheese, and small convenience stores. Part of the fun of living in Bologna is in discovering your favorite shops and cooking your own food.
What if I don't get along with my roommates?
Your Resident Director and program staff are on-site to help you with any housing concerns.
Will I have internet access in my apartment?
Yes, all apartments are equipped with wireless internet. Keep in mind that Italy does not have the same network infrastructure as the U.S. and internet service will not be as fast or reliable as the internet you are used to (i.e. streaming music, videos, etc.). Wireless internet is also available at the Nilsson Center during Center hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday).
Are internships available?
Qualified students may complete internships in Bologna. Internship placements are not guaranteed and students with strong Italian language skills will have a greater chance of being placed at an internship site. Students have gained valuable experience in a variety of organizations including museums, a bookstore, elementary and middle schools, and a local community center.
Can I earn credit for an internship?
Students who wish to complete an internship for academic credit must be academic year students and enroll in the Intercultural Seminar. Semester students can earn a transcript notation on their Dickinson transcript through the Career Center. Please visit the Internship Notation Program page for more information.
Can I conduct research while abroad?
Students can conduct research abroad under the guidance of a Dickinson adviser. The Student International Research Fund (SIRF) was established to help students with extra travel costs associated with independent research projects. Students are encouraged to present their research at the International Research Symposium when they return to campus. For more information, please visit our Scholarships for Global Study page.
What is a visa?
A visa is a document, normally affixed within your passport, which allows you to enter the country and stay for the duration of your program. The requirements for the visa and visa process are controlled by the government of the country you are entering, are non-negotiable, and can change regularly. If you arrive without the proper visa, you will be sent home by immigration officers at your own expense.
Do I need a visa?

Student Perspective
Global Ambassadors are returning study abroad students who serve as peer advisors for their program. Please feel free to contact them for a student perspective
Hannah Feinberg
My semester spent studying abroad in Bologna has been the most impactful semester yet. It has instilled me with a sense of confidence, independence, and self-awareness, while shaping my career path and allowing me to get to know the world around me. While all of my courses in Bologna were thought provoking, the class on ethics and international security really peaked my interest; it changed the way I view foreign affairs, as well as impacted what I want my future career path to include. Living in such a central European location also allowed me to learn a lot through travel. I got to journey throughout Italy's many different, cultural cities, in addition to several other countries with their own distinct customs and traditions.
Tarutr Malhotra
The city of Bologna is a very exciting center for learning, as it holds host to the University of Bologna, which is the oldest college in the western world, as well as several programs from colleges from across Europe and the world. This creates a coalition of cultures that is tremendously appealing and educative. Additionally, the well established Dickinson Center gives our students a great support system, even if you don't know Italian. Every student has the opportunity to live among friends in a European city, while having a host family, tandem meetings with other students and tutoring job to meet the locals. Additionally, year long students have the opportunity to work in the local establishments, such as museums or schools.

My study abroad experience affected my perspective of both my majors. Concerning Art History, I enjoyed studying works of art on site. Seeing the works in person rather than in a book is definitely ideal to the academic practice. Living in Italy and in a university city allowed me to practice the Italian language daily. This will no doubt ease my transition into upper-level Italian classes at Dickinson where I can focus on the material rather than trying to translate the language.

I studied abroad for the academic school year with two different Dickinson programs; the Dickinson in England (Humanities) program at the University of East Anglia, and the Dickinson in Italy program at the Dickinson Center in Bologna. This allowed me to fulfill requirements for both my major (English), as well as my minor (History), and also gave me the opportunity to experience two very different cultures. At UEA I joined their volleyball and baseball teams, and was able to totally immerse myself in university life in England. When I studied in Bologna I was able to learn a new language, and took advantage of being in mainland Europe and traveled to numerous other countries, as well as throughout Italy.

I ultimately chose to attend Dickinson College for its renowned study abroad programs and my time in Bologna, Italy certainly lived up to my academics and personal goals. I am an International Studies major, concentrating in Western Europe, with minors in both History and Spanish. The program in Bologna offered an ideal selection of classes and integral opportunities for me to develop my areas of study. I have always been independent and prior to my semester in Italy, I had spent quite a bit of time traveling both alone and in groups. Even though I have a certain comfortability in new environments, Bologna (as well as time living in Europe) continuously opened my eyes to the beauty and trials of living in a new culture. In my opinion, one of Bologna's most beautiful and unique aspects is its rich historical yet non-touristic population. It wasn't until I was living in Bologna that I realized how much history had taken place in this city. Compared to other major attractions such as Rome, Florence and Venice, this city consists of mostly locals who live among one of the most interesting and fundamental cities I have ever studied. I came to love Bologna because of its local civilization that forced me to assimilate to the Italian lifestyle and language where as other cities I visited in Europe seemed more accustomed to American visitors. My goal was to completely integrated into the Italian culture, academics, language and routine. There was nothing more rewarding than becoming a resident in a city such as Bologna.

This past fall I was fortunate to have the opportunity to study abroad in Bologna, Italy. Studying abroad had been a dream of mine ever since I began studying the Italian language in middle school. As I continued my studies to fulfill an Italian minor in hopes to become fluent, full emersion in the country, taking a course at the University of Bologna, and babysitting for an Italian family contributed to my achievement. Living in Italy forced me to practice my speaking skills everyday, by interacting with Italians and building up my confidence. I noticed a huge difference in the approach I took to the Italian courses at Dickinson once I returned to campus and realized the intimidation factor no longer existed.
