Have you ever wanted to study on the Emerald Isle? Are you interested in finally kissing the Blarney Stone or visiting the ancestral home of 30 million Irish Americans? Have you been reading Oscar Wilde, James Joyce, W.B. Yeats, Claire Keegan, or Sally Rooney for years and wanted to see the sweeping visits they describe in their work?
If this has caught your interest, College of Education Dean Shawn Daley invites to you join a presentation by Dr. Sandra Wagner from Mary Immaculate College in Limerick, Ireland, to discover opportunities to study, learn, and experience life in one of Europe’s most welcoming countries.
Join us at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 29, in the Javier Garcia Conference Room (Hoover 250).
This conversation is open to students from across disciplines who are curious about international study. Whether your interests are in education, the humanities, social sciences, business, communication, the arts, or another field, come explore how time in Ireland might fit into your academic journey.
Located in the heart of Limerick, Mary Immaculate College offers students the opportunity to experience Irish university life while immersing themselves in Ireland’s extraordinary history, culture, landscape, and contemporary society.
Studying abroad isn’t simply about seeing another country – it’s about encountering new people and perspectives, developing independence, and seeing your own field of study differently.
Come meet Dr. Wagner, learn about Mary Immaculate College, ask questions, and imagine what a semester – or another academic experience – in Ireland could look like for you.
Your next classroom might just be Ireland.
