CAPA WORLD

As countries, organizations, small & large businesses, schools, and universities around the globe have begun implementing social distancing policies to combat the spread of COVID-19, many of us are experiencing working from home for the first time, often in closer quarters than ideal. As CAPA instituted a work-from-home policy starting on Monday, March 19 and as our students make the transition to completing their academic programs remotely, our US team rounded up these 10 helpful tips for working or learning from home.  

What all can you do and see as a student in Ireland? CAPA Dublin student Lily Tang drops some gems in this week's vlog and shows us her trip to Cork, Rock of Cashel, and more. She encourages you to try some of the discovery trips offered through your study abroad program. These opportunities allow you to explore more of your host country's landmarks, towns, and culture! You can also meet students from all over the world and have fun together.
