Maryville College Scots Abroad

TOMORROW, let's get globally engaged with MC Scot, Kendra Woullard, as she takes us on a TAKEOVER from Ireland where we will see the local spots of Dublin, learn about public transportation, and even join on a beach trip! 🇮🇪

Introductions: "Hi, I'm Kendra (she/her)! I'm majoring in finance/accounting and I graduate in 2027. I'm currently studying and interning abroad with CEA CAPA in Dublin, Ireland!"

Summer programs offer MC Scots the flexibility to study, intern, or volunteer FOR CREDIT! Kendra took this opportunity to find a program that offered both academic coursework AND experience with an internship through CEA CAPA!

The Galápagos Islands are home to giant tortoises, penguins, blue-footed bo***es, and - for the past 12 days - our MC Scots! ♥️🧡

This May-term travel study program, led by Drs. Julie Konkel and Andrew Gunnoe, has been a deep dive into the heart of a community and an ecosystem where science, culture, and sustainability are woven into everyday life.

Our scholars have learned about the natural history of the islands and gained a deeper understanding of the social and economic factors influencing conservation efforts and economic livelihood in the Galápagos. As conveyed in the post's picture, , Sam Cocchia, took that "deeper understanding" literally!

More about Sam: "Hi, my name is Sam Cocchia. I just graduated this [spring] with a degree in both biology and exercise science, and I’m currently in the Galápagos Islands."🏝️

Let's meet our takeover host and see what's in store!
"Hi! My name is Ella Reyes (she/her) and I am a senior Developmental Psychology major graduating in the fall. I am studying abroad with fellow Bonner Scholars in Costa Rica focusing on community and culture! [Viewers can expect] a day full of adventure, good food, and culture! We will be rafting in the morning, meeting with community members, and then having a seafood dinner!"
