Greetings Students, Faculty, Staff and friends!
I’m excited to announce plans for a special trip to bring our learning to life in Ireland this spring break!
Our world has never been smaller, and I believe traveling is crucial to your education. Our itinerary will be a mix of cultural, hands-on, and educational activities, and yes, I promise a lot of fun too. Some highlights include:
- A walking tour of Dublin and visit to St. Patrick’s Cathedral
- A day trip to see the Hill of Tara and Newgrange as well as Muiredach’s High Cross
- A visit to Dublin’s Writers Museum, James Joyce Cultural Center, and Wood Quay, a historic Viking settlement
Check out some of our itinerary and other details about the travel program on our online portal.
Trip Dates: March 25, 2017 to April 1, 2017 Spring Break!
Program website: https://worldstrides.com/custom/experience-ireland/
Password: CalhounIreland2017 (case sensitive)
I have chosen Ireland because it is rich in literature and history and will gift us all with a new cultural experience. Truly, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is much more than a trip. I hope it’s the kind of learning experience you’ll talk about long after graduation.
If you have questions, please contact me directly at heather.congo@calhoun.edu or 256-306-2520 or text this message: @irelandcc to the following number: 81010
I’m looking forward to traveling with many of you!
