Arcadia Ireland

This week has been a particularly exciting time in the Arcadia Calendar – the annual new staff training trip to Glenside! Both myself and our new Irish Programmes Officer Jodi Killackey travelled to Arcadia University in Glenside, PA to touch base with our colleagues, see the campus itself and get all the training needed to help carry out the Irish programs.  

On our final day in the College of Global Studies we have reflected on all we have learnt, all the new friends we have made and what a fantastic experience we've had in the United States. In many ways Jodi and I are able to identify with how the students feel when they come to Ireland, and all the things that stand out as different. Overall it has been a very positive experience and we even picked out our five favourite things about our trip to Philadelphia! 

Water Ice! A Philadelphia classic.
