CAPA WORLD

The CEA CAPA Faculty Spotlight is a monthly series highlighting the individuals who teach courses and provide academic instruction at our global education centers in different study abroad locations across the world. Their teaching leaves a mark on students who study abroad. This month, we meet Dr. Mícheál Ó Fathartaigh from our Dublin location.

At CAPA, we seek to foster increased student diversity and to provide all participants with the opportunity to explore, challenge and redefine their identities in distinct ways. Launched in Spring 2017, the Diversity Advocates Program (DAP) is an extension of this philosophy and provides resources for advocates to pursue diversity initiatives of their own within their global cities.

We’re very excited to introduce and welcome our team of official bloggers, TikTokers, and vloggers for spring 2023!

Each student will receive a grant accompanied by an explorer fund while they are abroad to help them generate their stories here on our blog and social media. From pre-departure thoughts through their reflection upon their return home, we will watch the stories of these students unfold as they learn about their host country, explore and discover the real city beyond stereotypes and expectations, interact with locals, focus on their academics, and complete internships.

So, who are they and where are they going?

CAPA offers global internships in over 75 industries, and here are just a few examples in which students have been placed in the past. Please be in touch with us to learn more about options available for your specific major!

Throughout June, we continue to celebrate Pride month and the LGBTQ+ community, and share resources on how we can help the community as allies throughout the rest of the year. We also provide some history on LGBTQ+ rights around the world and offer resources to support LGBTQ+ students looking to study abroad.

Today we celebrate Juneteenth and look back at its history, along with sharing some resources to help you learn more about how it came to be designated as a federal holiday. In addition, as we work to amplify Black and African American voices and experiences in recognition of the significance of Juneteenth, we share stories from Black and African American students and students pursuing diversity initiatives while abroad.
