"Dr. Kimsey loves and is passionate about what he does. I had the opportunity to get to know him, not only as a professor, but as a friend. The experience was amazing but Dr. Kimsey really tried to open our eyes to concepts, ideas, and theories related to what we were studying. I couldn't have asked for a more qualified, intelligent, and entertaining host. I recommend this study abroad trip to anyone and will never forget the memories we made as a class and with Dr. Kimsey." -Anonymous recent Ireland study abroad participant
