2014 Mar 25

Alyssa Yuan of Odenton, MD traveled to Ireland during spring break as part of the Advanced Intercultural Communication class offered as a communication special topics course at Stevenson University. Alyssa, along with 20 other Business Communication students, landed in Dublin and were driven cross-country to their first destination, Galway.

In the city of Galway, students were able to tour the city, visit National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway, meet with NUI's business department and take a guided-tour of Connemara, an Irish National Park. After Galway, students traveled to Dublin to tour the city, visit Trinity College and the Book of Kells, tour American College and attend a lecture, as well as visit with a business and be entertained by traditional Irish music and dance at a classic pub.

In addition to the preparation that came with the much-anticipated trip, participants must prepare a paper based on a topic of their choice related to the trip along with a presentation. The presentation will be presented in front of the faculty, staff and students of Stevenson University on April 29, 2014.
