Kavanagh works toward Ireland\u2019s commitment to strengthening economic, political, cultural and community relationships.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople-to-people links have always been really important between Ireland and the U.S. and I see visiting colleges and universities as part of continuing that legacy,\u201d Kavanagh says.<\/p>\n

But her path wasn\u2019t always so clear.<\/p>\n

Prior to her current role, she earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in history and politics, several master\u2019s degrees and a Barrister-at-Law degree. Her past roles include working for the Parliament of Ireland, being Special Adviser to the Minister for Justice and Equality, and Deputy Director for the Human Rights Unit of the Department of Foreign Affairs in Dublin. For much of her life, she had no idea what diplomats did.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit”

They may also promote trade and economic relations between the two countries. An embassy is the main diplomatic mission of one country in another country\u2019s capital city. It represents the sending country\u2019s government and maintains political, economic and cultural relationships between two nations.<\/p>\n

Ethan McCarron, a Study USA<\/a> student from Monaghan, Ireland, is studying film at Eckerd this academic year and had the opportunity to connect with Kavanagh during her visit. Study USA is a Northern Irish program with over 140 partner colleges. If a student is accepted, the organization decides where they study.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was very grateful for the opportunity to meet a government official, but even more grateful when I discovered that beneath the title, she was just an Irish person, the same as me. This was best demonstrated when she invited me to visit the Consulate in Miami so that we could have a cup of tea together,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n

Kavanagh\u2019s talk at Eckerd was hosted by the Risser Center for Global Education<\/a>. Kavanagh discussed her journey to diplomacy and what a diplomat actually does before taking student questions.<\/p>\n

She encouraged students to consider studying abroad or a working holiday authorisation<\/a>, which allows American citizens who are college students or graduated within the last year to live and work in Ireland.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think anybody here who has the opportunity to study abroad should. I\u2019ve never heard of somebody regretting it. In fact, most people kind of say it\u2019s the most formative thing they did in their college life,\u201d Kavanagh said during her remarks.<\/p>\n

Eckerd ranks first among baccalaureate institutions for total students who participate in short-term study abroad. In January of 2027, over 400 Eckerd students will study abroad in 18 countries.<\/p>\n

Associate Director of Global Education Rosie Nelson took advantage of the working holiday authorization for a year after completing her master\u2019s program. She managed internships in Ireland for a study abroad company.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” advanced_gradient_angle=”0″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=”” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”top” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” max_width_alignment_desktop=”default” max_width_alignment_tablet=”inherit” max_width_alignment_phone=”inherit” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][image_with_animation image_url=”21327″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” img_link_large=”yes” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”16″][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Professor Virginie Khare leads the discussion with Consul General Sarah Kavanagh.

Nelson recently visited Ireland, through Education in Ireland<\/a>, with a group of educators from across the U.S., leading to the arrangement of Kavanagh\u2019s visit to Eckerd. The College is looking to expand its international programming in Ireland.<\/p>\n

Riley Bloom \u201925, global education marketing coordinator, says the principles of diplomacy go hand-in-hand with studying abroad. Both gain experience in cross-cultural connections, Bloom says, and should practice open-mindedness and respectful communication with a culture different from their own.<\/p>\n

Laurel McNeary, a first-year from Brevard, North Carolina, attended the event and is interested in studying both political science<\/a> and marine science<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was really curious about what working abroad looks like and diplomacy,\u201d Laurel says.<\/p>\n

In addition to learning more about Kavanagh\u2019s work, Laurel says she gained perspective on the country of Ireland itself, which they didn\u2019t expect.<\/p>\n

Ireland has a positive connection with Florida that goes a long way back, Kavanagh says. The first recorded St. Patrick\u2019s Day Parade in the Americas took place in St. Augustine in 1600, which University of South Florida<\/a> professor of history J. Michael Francis, Ph.D.<\/a>, discovered in archival material. The Irish diaspora in Florida is estimated to be around 1.8 million people, Kavanagh adds, emphasizing the important economic and cultural relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just working on the ground to strengthen those relationships at all levels,\u201d Kavanagh says.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
