A fall 2019 journey to Ireland awaits interested alumni, family, and friends in the next Friar Explorations travel adventure. “Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way” departs Oct. 15 and returns Oct. 23. This trip will feature sensational coastal scenery, moorlands, and verdant mountains, as well as life in the vibrant and colorful Galway and Westport region.

Friar Explorations trips are a fun way to connect with alumni and others in the College community and offer unparalleled “beyond the classroom” learning opportunities. In February 2019, alumni and friends enjoyed a Friar Explorations trip to Cuba.
