Carl Rubino, the Winslow Professor of Classics, presented “Somewhere over the Rainbow: Spartacus, Gladiator, and the American Dream” to teachers participating in Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA). He presented to teachers in the upstate region on May 19 in Rochester and to downstate region teachers on May 20 in New York City.
According to the SUPA website, the program was launched in 1974 and now offers 38 dual credit Syracuse University courses to students in more than 200 participating high schools. The program also provides professional development programs to high school teachers, many of whom have become Syracuse University adjunct professors.
