May the road rise up to meet
you . . . in Ireland. If you’re interested in traveling throughout the Emerald
Isle, now is your chance. Southeast Community College’s Global Education program
is sponsoring a trip to Ireland May 18-28, 2020.
“This is a really exciting
opportunity because it is like none other we’ve done before,” said Nicole
Trevena-Flores, SCC instructor and coordinator of the trip. “It is a ‘study
abroad’ trip, which means that we’ll have an Irish professor with us the entire
time, teaching as we travel.”
The trip will take place over
10 days in Ireland and includes Dublin, O’Donnell Castle, Derry City, a boat
trip, sea cliffs, surfing lessons, horseback riding on the beach and more. It’s
also a joint effort between SCC, Central Community College, Mid-Plains
Community College, Northeast Community College, and Western Nebraska Community
College.
The cost for the trip is $3,200
per person and includes airfare, ground transportation, hotel, breakfasts and
evening meals, admission and field trip fees, and travel insurance. Anyone can register
for the trip. However, there is a class required to take during the trip, “Global
Perspectives through the lens of Irish History & Culture.”
Past SCC Global Education program
trips traveled to Peru, Guatemala, Haiti, Kenya, and Italy. The program was
introduced so students can have the opportunity to explore the world and
cultures around them.
“Traveling as a student
allows you to explore the world but bring along some of the comforts of home
such as a well-traveled instructor,” Trevena-Flores added.
The deadline to register for
this trip is Nov. 22, 2019. For more information, contact Trevena Flores at
