I&#8217;ve taken three semesters of Irish language and have completely fallen in love with it. The cultural and historical depth of the language is unlike anything I&#8217;ve ever experienced, especially considering I&#8217;ve lived in the Midwest for my entire life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In traveling to Ireland for a language course, I hope to grow in my knowledge of the Irish language and its cultural significance. Furthermore, as a STEM major, I find that Irish is a refreshing break from my usual curriculum. Language learning utilizes different ways of thinking that I&#8217;ve found to be beneficial to the other areas of my studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m also interested in how scientific issues, such as climate change and watershed ecology, span internationally, and hope to see how these issues impact Ireland in comparison to the United States. I&#8217;m so happy to have this experience and am looking forward to my time in Ireland!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>E-mail: lammond@nd.eduLanguage: IrishLocation of Study: Galway, IrelandProgram of Study: NUI Galway&#8217;s Irish Language course (International Summer School)Sponsors: The Center for the Study of Languages and Cultures and the Keogh-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies Visit Laurel&#8217;s Blog My name is Laurel and I&#8217;m a junior studying Neuroscience within the College of Science.
