On this Giving Day, we are aiming to raise $5,000 to help with one of three projects that we are pursuing on Champlain College’s Dublin, Ireland campus.

• First is our aim of making the Dublin campus and our study abroad activities carbon neutral by the year 2025. While there is a huge academic, social and cultural benefit to students studying abroad, it does come at an environmental cost, especially through student flights. Funds will be used to offset the carbon cost of student flights to and from Dublin.
• Second is to fund professional opportunities for students in Dublin through student participation in career-focused conferences in Ireland.
• Third is for funding towards the establishment of community events for our students to become immersed in the Liberties community in Dublin, which is the neighborhood in which they reside while they are in Ireland.
  Please consider giving today, and thank you for all of your support!

About the Dublin Program and Campus

Champlain College’s Dublin Campus was established in 2008 for our students to spend a semester in Ireland for a program of rigorous academics, professional opportunities, personal growth, and social and cultural learning. The Dublin campus has hosted over 1,000 students since 2008, and has facilitated hundreds of internship and service learning opportunities for its students. This is not a normal semester by any means, as we make extensive use of the city of Dublin as a learning environment. Classes often take place in galleries and museums, at historic sites, on visits to multinational companies, or on field trips in the city or around the country. Faculty are locally-hired, so students get to learn from the best of Irish academics and industry professionals. Weekend field trips get the students out of the city to see the famous Irish countryside and historic sites. Champlain’s Dublin campus has forged close social and cultural ties to the Liberties community, the inner city area where the students reside. The Dublin campus staff pride themselves in providing a supportive abroad program to students, all while immersing them in all that Ireland has to offer.
