Just a reminder that there are a lot of fun study-abroad opportunities that you can apply for through UW and other programs. Here is one for Ireland, but you can also apply for other UW programs here: http://studyabroad.washington.edu/
On behalf of Bridge Education Abroad Institute (BEAI), I am writing to you today to inform you about our summer program in Ireland. Our institute plans short programs all across the world, to provide students with unique opportunities to experience different political cultures while strengthening their leadership and diplomacy skills. Our programs draw a diverse group of students together from all over the world to discuss pressing global issues while exchange cultural values. In a rapidly globalizing world, we believe these experiences are invaluable to the success of students in the global job market.
For the summer of 2014, we have one program scheduled in Dublin, Ireland during the dates August 6th – August 16th, 2014. This program will include lectures from experienced professors and guest speakers from all over the globe, including the United States of America. A few of our professors include:
· Professor Dr. Leonardo Baccini – Author and assistant professor at London School of Economics
· Professor Dr. Pablo Hernandez-Lagoz- Assistant. Professor at New York University
o PHD from UC Berkeley
· Professor Dr. Melanie Hoewer- Professor at University College Dublin
o Deputy Director, Institute for British Irish Studies
· Professor Dr. Peter Admirand- Professor at Dublin City University
o PHD from Trinity College
o Masters at Georgetown and Boston University
The students will enrich their knowledge of Ireland’s history, international politics, and economics while also enjoying travel to famous and historic places. We also encourage students to get to know one another and share cultural values through planned social events.
· A tour of parliament
· Field trips to Belfast, Northern Ireland
· City of Limerick
· Cliffs of Moher (Ireland’s most popular attraction) and more
Even with the summer close at hand, there are still plenty of students still figuring out their plans for the upcoming break. We hope you will consider recognition of our institute as an option for your students who are looking for international opportunities. We would greatly appreciate if you can pass the information about our program on to your students. If you believe you have students at your university that would be interested in this unique opportunity, please inform them to contact us via info@beainstitute.org
Thank you very much for your support, and to find more information about our program, you may visit www.beainstitute.org/
