NOVA Trip To Ireland
Donation protected
Dear friend of NOVA:
The Honors students of Northern Virginia Community College are fundraising for their Honors Study Abroad class to Ireland, which departs on July 5th 2015, returning July 18th 2015. Twenty Honors students and two professors will be journeying to Dublin and traveling south and west over two weeks to Galway, the Aran Islands, Limerick, and Sligo to name a few counties. They will walk in the footsteps of some of the greatest Irish writers from Yeats to Joyce to more modern playwrights like McDonagh and McCourt. Students will be enrolled in Honors English 295, the Literature of Ireland, for three credits, and will be studying ½ of the course at the Loudoun campus in May and June with the other ½ studied in Ireland at the University of College Dublin.
This is a wonderful opportunity for our students who will improve their cultural self-awareness and develop intercultural communications skills. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these community college students, and this is where we need your help. NOVA’s Honors Program is providing some scholarships; however, a significant portion still remains. The students are committed to reducing the financial burden through fundraising, to include numerous events, such as a “gift auction” of various items/services that local businesses have donated. Anything that you can contribute (whether an item for donation or a financial contribution) would be distributed among all the students and would be greatly appreciated! A bonfire and celebration for the gift giveaway will take place at the Loudoun campus the second week in May.
I am the College-wide Honors Coordinator for NOVA and the English professor teaching this course and accompanying the students abroad. Please contact me if you have any questions. We appreciate your support of our deserving students! Your contribution is deductible as permitted by law. The NOVA tax ID# is 54-1268263.
Sincerely,
