Happy crew! What a view! On the summit of Slieve Coillte, Wexmester One @GeorgiaSouthern students learn about the 1798 Rebellion in County #Wexford and the early-19th-century Ordinance Survey, which produced 6"-to-1-mile maps of the island of Ireland. @visitwexford

On @GeorgiaSouthern's Statesboro Campus, flags line the Sweetheart Circle walkway to honor the American service people whose courage, selflessness & service has gifted us with freedom. This Memorial Day, we acknowledge the fallen with gratitude and humility.

Our Wexmester One summer program is entering Week #2 on @GeorgiaSouthern's #Wexford, Ireland, campus! To kick off their experience, students got a taste of the @wildatlanticway by exploring the #Burren's limestone-pavement ecosystem & the legendary #CliffsOfMoher. @ClareTourism

Our @georgiasouthern team visited historic #BaginbunBeach in #Wexford, where Normans invaded in 1170. Interacting w/ Carol Stacey, co-operator of the nearby Sweathouse Sauna, we learned about stone sweathouses as an element of Ireland's cultural & social heritage. @visitwexford

Among the most powerful experiences for @GeorgiaSouthern's Honors Scholars in Ireland: The #RosesFromTheHeart event at @SETUIreland's Wexford Campus. Via bonnets, song & more, community members & academics memorialized hundreds of Irish women transported to Australia, 1788- 1853.

Big thanks to the Scallan family of Ballina Dairy Farm in County Wexford for hosting @GeorgiaSouthern Honors Global Scholars. Discussions were wide-ranging: Ireland's agricultural cooperative movement; the EU's Common Agricultural Policy; the science of grassland composition.
