“In my fourth year at UPEI, I chose to take part in a semester abroad in Dublin, Ireland. I truly believe this was one of the best decisions of my undergrad. People told me I would have fun, meet new people, and see exciting things, but my experience abroad was much more than that. My time away gave me a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me.” —Jeff Moore BBA, 2018
