Local student studies abroad

Loghry, a junior, is majoring in nursing. She is the daughter of Diane and Jerry Loghry of Camas.
Loghry is studying at the National University of Ireland, Galway. She will experience the culture while learning with 15,000 Irish, American and international students.
Each student is able to choose his or her own courses. In addition to classes, students are required to perform community service in a program of their choice.
Galway is the third largest city in the Republic of Ireland and is regarded as the cultural capitol of the country because of its music and arts.
The Linfield College study abroad programs are designed for students who have completed one or two years of study in a required foreign language (Japanese, Spanish, French, Chinese or German) at Linfield and who will return to the college to share their international experiences with others in the campus community.
The curriculum includes language instruction as well as studies in the culture, politics, economics, history and art of the country. The program is open to sophomores, juniors and seniors, and selection is made on a competitive basis. Linfield covers the cost of the first, round-trip airfare when students qualify. Students pay regular Linfield tuition and a program fee.
