Deadline Feb. 1 for Students to Study in Ireland
Students studied in Ireland last year with the College of Education and Health Professions.
Students at the University of Arkansas who want to take part in a two-week, faculty-led study abroad experience in Ireland after the spring semester must apply by Monday, Feb. 1.
Information is available on the Office of Study Abroad & International Exchange website.
The University of Limerick and University College Dublin in Ireland will host the students, who will visit two primary schools. They will work with kindergarten through sixth-grade students and their teachers in different classroom settings.
U of A students will also meet with University of Limerick education students and faculty members to learn about college programs and life experiences in Ireland.
"Additionally, U of A students will participate in several one-hour lectures that provide an overview of Irish culture and history," said Paul Calleja, clinical associate professor of kinesiology. "Throughout the 16-day stay, U of A students will join students from other countries as they tour historical and cultural sites throughout Ireland."
Paul Calleja, clinical associate professor of kinesiology, and Jack Kern, clinical professor of kinesiology, will lead the trip, which is in its second year in the College of Education and Health Professions. For more information, contact Calleja at pcallej@uark.edu.
