What is your favorite travel memory?

Meeting my wife while working for DBS was obviously the culmination of a successful traveling experience! But, a six-week stay in the rural south of The Philippines, with my wife’s family was even more powerful. Coming from an Irish city the differences were stark, yet reassuring as I learned how common values of family, hard-work and adapting to circumstances were somehow familiar. A love of a bit of fun and self-depreciation held me in good stead. We are still married by the way!

Did you study abroad? If so, where and what inspired you to go?

I studied at the University of Dortmund, Clarion University in Pennsylvania and in the Université Paris Dauphine. Each experience was unique and enlightening with many friendships built, credits gained and insights developed. I was stimulated by the design of the undergraduate programme in DCU that encouraged students to study away and fascinated by the cultural nuances and personal stories of fellow study abroad students who were studying in Dublin with me.

As a linguistics undergrad it was only natural that I would find myself studying Latin case-structures in Paris and the connections between medieval English and German with great professors! Of course, I also had time to immerse myself in the culture of the countries.

What does the future hold for DBS - any exciting new programs to share?

The future is exciting in the DBS Study Abroad Department for me and my team. The study abroad internship programme is attracting a lot of interest from US partners and students. The feedback from employers has been really encouraging and all the worries in beginning something new has dissipated.

The freshmen study-abroad programme option, now in its sixth year has reached 400 graduates and that is so pleasing and the students and participants have continued to astound with their love for the freshmen study abroad experience. Watching 18 year-olds develop and adapt to a new culture is fascinating and rewarding.

What changes would you make to the study abroad industry?

Since the middle-ages scholars have traveled from one higher education institution to another in pursuit of knowledge and training. A consequence of this has been the internationalization of knowledge as traded good or service that, over history, has enriched, for example, the cultures of Greece through interaction with the Arab world, medieval Europe through interaction with Celtic scholars and monks. I would like to see greater co-ordination from governments, NGOs and institutions in promoting study abroad and study away opportunities in and for developing countries and non-traditional destinations.
