International Exchange with Ireland
The George J. Mitchell Peace Scholarship exchange with Ireland was created jointly by the Maine Community College System and the University of Maine System as a tribute to the Honorable George J. Mitchell in recognition of his efforts to facilitate peace in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Students spend either a semester or an academic year in Cork at the Cork Institute of Technology (MCCS students) or University College Cork (UMS students).
The exchange program is coordinated by the community colleges' Center for Career Development, located on campus at Southern Maine Community College. For more information on how to apply, contact Dorry French, International Programs Coordinator, at (207) 767-5210 x4117 or email at dfrench@ccd.me.edu
