Carlow College, St Patrick’s is delighted to welcome the Walsh University Blouin Scholars back to campus once again.

Now in its fourth year, this valued partnership supports the exchange of faculty, students, ideas and experiences between our institutions.

This year, a group of 10 fourth-year students, accompanied by two faculty members, are spending the next few weeks in Carlow.

Their visit began with a roundtable discussion with local secondary educators, exploring the pathway from secondary school to college or career, career readiness, and ways to support long-lasting, positive student outcomes.

The group then joined our US Summer Abroad students for a cultural excursion to St Mullins and Graiguenamanagh; a wonderful opportunity to experience some of the history, heritage and beauty of the area.
