We’ve finally arrived in County Donegal, and this time our stop is where we’re doing our consulting project. If you don’t remember, our team is the Digital Disruption and Innovation team, and I’m responsible for leveraging AI use in businesses in Carrigart!

Belfast and Derry’s Historical Landmarks!
Today is day three of the Haller program, and we’ve done so much with the little amount of time we’ve been here. Northern Ireland is filled with historical landmarks, and we were able to visit three within the last two days! The first place we visited was Belfast’s Peace Walls, which serve as barriers that…
You’ve Landed in: Dublin Ireland
Today marks the second day of being in Northern Ireland. After landing at the Dublin Airport, we met Conor, the program director for the Holy Trinity Youth Center. He took us to our hotels in Belfast to get settled in, and then we interacted with the children there and today. I played soccer (or football)…
First Days: Arriving in Belfast!
We’ve finally arrived in Belfast after an honestly pretty refreshing flight! Though the food on the airplane was lacking in some regards, it was still an extremely pleasant experience because of the amenities and rest we were able to get on board. Right when we landed, we were driven to a Youth Center, where we…
Final Days of Pittsburgh: Cya Ruskin Hall
Today, we went on a hike through the Southside Slopes. It’s a steep residential area in the heart of Pittsburgh, and we managed to capture the best views of the city. Later that day, we went to see a Riverhounds game. It was my first professional soccer game, and the crowd was electric, even though…
Last Day Before Ireland: PIT –> DUB!

It felt like just yesterday that we drove to Pittsburgh and settled at Ruskin Hall, and it’s crazy to say that I’m writing inside…
Two Perspectives Under the Same Mission: Civic Anchoring!
Today, we spoke with two extremely helpful figures in Pittsburgh’s civic anchoring positions. Specifically, the Riverhounds Director of Promotions and Entertainment, Kris Brown, and Director of Business Development in Allegheny County, Elissa DiNello. Both speakers were extremely knowledgeable and helpful with drafting our plans for Carrigart! Kris Brown (not to be confused with pop star…
Riverhounds and Community
This morning we took a visit the FNB stadium where we met Kris Brown, the Director of Promotions. Talking with the Riverhounds’ Director of Promotions and Entertainment, what stood out most was how the club builds its calendar around multiple events rather than just game days. A team that shows up once a week doesn’t…
History of the Hill District
This morning, we took a tour around the Hill District. We met Terri Baltimore, the ambassador of the Hill District. Her roots run deep throughout the community, as we saw everyone honking when they saw her! Our tour consisted of driving through the streets of the Hill District. She showed us key historical landmarks and…
