"In ARHU, you’re learning about how people interact with the world and each other. My goal is to build things that people are going to use. Just technology knowledge can only go so far. You have to understand how people are going to use them to be truly successful."

Ozzie Fallick '14, Software Engineer, Google

Linguistics

"Cross-cultural communication is one of the most important skills that I learned at ARHU, and I use it to engage and inform the community in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean about our events, exchanges and any other information that supports our key policy priorities in the region. ARHU gave me the tools to understand why in diplomacy, it’s as much about what you say as how you say it."

Krystle Norman '08, Foreign Service Officer, U.S. Department of State

Spanish and Portuguese

"I had always loved art, but I never knew you could make a career out of it until I studied abroad in Rome. There, I took a full course load of art courses and learned all about the factors of being an art professional. It was life-changing. Now I feel lucky that I’m doing something that I’m so passionate about."

Laura Sheridan Raiffe '09, Regional Account Manager, Christie's Fine Arts

Art History and Archaeology

"One of the most important things I got out of my ARHU experience is my ability to parse arguments, think critically and see multiple sides of an issue. Being in law school, it’s important to do that—it’s a skill I use every day. Not a class goes by, not a case gets read that this skill doesn’t come into play."

MacBeth opens tonight at @TheClariceUMD! Last night Dean @stephshonekan and Provost Jennifer King Rice had a chance to catch the dress rehearsal, along with a group of ARHU staff participating in Dean Shonekan’s Higher Ground series which engages staff in experiencing and discussing music, books, theater and other creative and scholarly works! 📖 🎨 🎶 Performed by students in @UMD_TDPS and directed by Assistant Professor Fatima Quander, this adaptation of Shakespeare’s tragedy is set in the United States in a not too distant dystopian future - one devastated by ecological ruin and social fragmentation. In addition to the shift in time and place, the production’s revisionist approach includes breaking the characters out of traditional conventions of gender. Get your tickets today! Showtimes on March 6, 7, 10, 11 and 12. 📸: Taneen Momeni

“America Will Be!,” currently on view at @driskellcenter and timed to coincide with the United States’ 250th anniversary, presents artworks that critically engage the image and symbolism of the U.S. flag, inviting audiences to reflect on ongoing struggles over democracy, citizenship and belonging in the United States. Across sculpture, textiles, photography and beyond, the exhibition explores how contemporary artists have responded to the nation’s contradictions, failures and possibilities. Jordana Moore Saggese, professor of @terparthistory and director of the Driskell Center, co-curated the exhibition with Nicole Archer of Montclair State University. The works were brought together, Saggese said, “to help visitors grapple with this country’s complex past, while also making space to imagine what could come next.” “We hope people see ways to confront the country’s ugliest realities while following the lead of the exhibition’s artists who are staking a claim on the beauty that simultaneously flourishes in our communities, our crafts, our creative expressions and our solidarity with those who are most marginalized,” she said. The exhibition, open until May 8, is being supported by a $100,000 grant from @terraamericanart Link in bio to learn more. 📷: Taneen Momeni
