Northwestern’s Study Abroad Committee has its sights set on giving students, staff and the public a chance to learn overseas.
The committee has settled on taking a tour group to England, Ireland and Wales in the summer of 2023.
The trip will last 11 days. Students will be able to receive college credit, and attendees will get opportunities to learn about different cultures and history, organizers said in a news release.
The trip looks to highlight the history of the British Isles, which are popular for the adventures and battles of the knights that lived there centuries ago.
The group will travel to the Ring of Kerry, a 112-mile coastal route with views of the Atlantic Ocean, and the mountain range around it called Macgillycuddy’s Reeks. After this, the group will go to Holyhead, Whales, via ferry. In London, the group will go on a guided tour and visit landmarks such as Big Ben and Stonehenge.
To learn more about the trip, people can attend six different meetings that begin at 5 p.m. in the Industrial Education Building Room 131 on the Alva campus, Room 218 in Enid and Room 145 in Woodward. The meeting dates are Sept. 29, Oct. 6, Oct. 18, Nov. 1, Nov. 17 and Dec. 1. To learn more about the trip, pricing and payment plans, visit www.nwosu.edu/study-abroad.
