Fifteen students from all seven academic divisions gained hands-on, real-world learning this year through study abroad, in New Zealand, Italy, Greece, Spain, Ireland, and Ecuador. These immersive experiences helped students develop and practice intercultural skills, connecting classroom knowledge to global perspectives and professional growth.

“During my eight-week internship abroad I had the pleasure of working with Deputy Michael Cahill in the Dáil Éireann (lower house of Irish Parliament), where I was able to observe and assist in the legislative process firsthand. This experience greatly expanded my understanding of government both domestic and abroad and it was truly unique experience. The study abroad program further piqued my political interest and has kept me deeply engaged.”
