Lauren McNamee Travels to Ireland for Unique Study Abroad Experience

2015 Jul 30

Lauren McNamee, a sophomore television-radio major in the Roy H. Park School of Communications at Ithaca College, traveled across the Atlantic to the seaside city of Galway, Ireland for three weeks of art festivals and cultural immersion.

McNamee traveled with 14 other Ithaca College students to work behind the scenes at the Galway Film Fleadh and Galway International Arts Festival, two of the biggest festivals on the Emerald Isle. When McNamee wasn't busy attending craft workshops, film screenings, and music, dance and theatrical performances, she toured the rustic Aran Islands or hung their heads over the Cliffs of Moher.

The unique study abroad program was led by Susan Monagan, manager of audience development and special projects in the Department of Theatre Arts, and Andrew Utterson, assistant professor in the Department of Media Arts, Sciences and Studies.
