The University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at M\u0101noa Study Abroad Center<\/a> brought a little bit of Ireland to its office as one of the winners of the Education in Ireland Go Green campaign. The center won a full scholarship for one student to study at its partner institution University College Dublin<\/a> in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Education in Ireland<\/a> challenged universities around the world to “go green” to celebrate St. Patrick\u2019s Day and to bring some fun positivity to students. The UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Study Abroad Center staff turned its entire website and social media accounts green, sent videos of green Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, dressed in green for Zoom meetings and played trivia games with green backgrounds for almost a month.<\/p>\n

“Although we were working remotely due to COVID, this was a fantastic opportunity for our UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa Study Abroad team to engage with Ireland and the rest of the world in the Global Greening project,” said Study Abroad Center Director Sarita Rai<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“The greening of so many campuses is a testament to the strong friendships between Irish and American higher education institutions, and a sign that even a pandemic cannot erase the bonds that exist between them,” wrote Irish Ambassador Daniel Mulhall in the congratulatory letter.<\/p>\n

The Study Abroad Center offers summer programs at University College Dublin<\/a> in multiple STEM disciplines. The scholarship will fully fund a UH<\/abbr> M\u0101noa student in 2022.<\/p>\n
