NEW PROGRAM University of Richmond, Office of Community and Professional Education announces
Breakfast with the Constitution by Rod Smolla, Dean, University of Richmond School of Law Come enjoy three 90-minute breakfast sessions with Rod Smolla, dean of the University of Richmond School of Law. Three compelling issues of modern constitutional law will be discussed: freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to privacy. In a lively, interactive format, Dean Smolla will explore the conflicts, arguments pro and con, and likely future developments in these three areas of vital importance in American literature. The sessions will include coverage of issues such as flag burning, “hate “ speech, incitement to violence, pornography, the Ten Commandments, the Pledge of Allegiance, school prayer, privacy and the Internet, do-not-call lists and telemarketers, privacy in reproductive matters, same-sex marriage, and other related disputes over the Constitution and Bill of Rights. This series pending approval by the Virginia Mandatory Continuing Legal Education Board.
Session I: Freedom of Speech This session will explore the fundamental questions that face our society in determining the meaning of freedom of speech under the First Amendment to the Constitution. Issues such as speech and violence, obscenity and pornography, flag-burning and cross-burning, racist and other forms of “hate” speech, and commercial advertising will be placed in their legal and social context. Tuesday, April 13 7:30 - 9:30 a.m. CRN: 60561 CEUs: .2 Fee: $50
Session II: Freedom of Religion This session will explore the classic issues that have defined our constitutional debate regarding the free exercise of religion and the establishment of religion. Questions such as prayer in school and other public institutional settings, references to God in public settings such as the Pledge of Allegiance, religious symbols and displays, religious conscientious objectors in military settings, and the problem of how to treat religious objections to general legal obligations (such as the objection of the Amish to sending children to public schools) will be explored.

In addition, the Virginia School of Sailing was the only school on the Chesapeake Bay to receive any award from the ASA. This is the first time any Virginia sailing school has won School of the Year.” This is Captain Tom’s second time in three years to receive “Instructor of the Year.” Captain Tom launched the Virginia School of Sailing in 1998, which is now the largest adult sailing school on the Southern Bay, and now has two locations: one in Deltaville, approximately 50 miles north of Norfolk, Virginia and the other in Richmond, VA, where he teaches sailing at the University of Richmond. The curriculum at the Virginia School of Sailing offers classes for the beginner as well as for the more experienced sailor, and includes coastal navigation and a series of American Sailing Association-sanctioned classes of hands-on instruction.

Portugal September 21-29, 2004.

Turkey October 2004 (dates TBA). Our fourth visit to this outstanding destination. Take 5,000 years of history and a half-dozen major cultures, combine with amazing landscapes and towns, and toss in gifted guides, food and hotels.

THE SPANISH ACADEMY AND CULTURAL INSTITUTE IN COOPERATION WITH THE OFFICE OF COMMUNITY AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION PRESENT
A Personal Immersion School in Zacatecas, Mexico Experience life as a Latino! Immerse yourself in the language and the warmth of the Hispanic culture by living in Zacatecas, Mexico, for two weeks, attending Spanish classes, field trips, and events! Zacatecas is “the city with the pink stone face and silver heart.” Elegant, almost regal, and a true colonial gem, it is one of Mexico’s most photogenic cities and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. Zacatecas, located seven hours from Mexico City, is one of Mexico’s highest cities at 8,000 feet. Spanish conquistadores discovered rich lodes of silver in the Cerro de La Bufa, and just two years later, in 1546, the initial settlement was proclaimed a city. Within the last 15 years, Zacatecas has been “rediscovered” and is once again becoming one of Mexico’s top producers of silver. Beautifully preserved pink stone buildings, adorned with delicate wrought iron balconies, line spotless narrow streets that twist and turn with the city. Come live within the heart of this beautiful city for two weeks and experience its warmth and hospitality.
Program Schedule: Immersion classes held daily 9:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Afternoon field trips and evening activities include: • Museums • Mine “El Eden” • Cable Car ride “Teleferico” • Cathedral of Zacatecas • Latin Dancing • Cultural events in Zacatecas • Gonzalez Ortega Central Market
Accommodations: Enjoy hotel accommodations in the heart of Zacatecas and delicious meals at the famous Acropolis restaurant. Cost: Total price is $2,698.00 which includes: • Immersion classes and materials fee. • Field trips, evening activities, accommodations, and food. Airfare not included. Group rates will be available prior to trip. Prices are subject to change depending on availability and currency exchange rate. We reserve the right to cancel this program.
