Thomas Howe, Professor of Art and Art History, accompanied Paul Gaffney, Dean of the Sarofim School of Fine Arts, and Tisha Temple, newly appointed Director for intercultural learning, to the Vesuvian Institute of the Restoring Ancient Stabiae Foundation, where he has been coordinator general of archaeology and planning since 2002.
