While it was a whirlwind, I found my time in Ireland to be enriching beyond expectation. Working on so many projects was challenging, but insanely rewarding. My internship consisted of so many different tasks, yet all of them worked towards conservation and restoration of the marine habitat. In site visits, I learned to apply my…

Reflecting from Pittsburgh
I have been back in Pittsburgh for two weeks now, and I can’t stop thinking about Dublin! I love being back home, back to my routine, and with all of my friends here, but there is so much I miss from my time abroad. Having the opportunity to study abroad for 8 weeks was a…
Eric Barbrack: Post-Trip Conclusion Prompt
My trip to Dublin is something that I will not soon forget. I went into Ireland not ever really working in the professional world, much less thinking about any kind of leadership role.

Week 8 Dublin
I just finished my last week in Dublin and have made it home. This last week was nothing special, but I had a great time. After last weekend’s trip to Paris, I wanted to take this week casually. I didn’t need to end my time abroad on some big bang. I just wanted to chill…
How Lucky Are We?!?!
It’s our final week in Dublin and the thought of leaving feels very bittersweet. I’m ready to leave and return to normalcy (I need to sleep), but I’ll also miss my friends and the new freedoms I had abroad that I didn’t have in the States. Dublin has turned into a second home for me,…
