Participants will enjoy a deeper understanding of the similarities and differences in communication between the U.S. and Ireland as well as the relationship between culture and communication. Participation in the program is also an excellent resume-builder – both academic and professional.
A $500.00 scholarship is available through the Center for International Education. If interested, please submit your application as soon as possible.
