Incoming senior Jason Sleisenger, 17, is attending a month-long acting program hosted by New York University at Trinity College in Dublin.
"I actually applied for a program in New York," Sleisenger said. "But after mentioning that I liked to travel, the head of summer programs felt that I would be a perfect fit for their program in Ireland."
Even though he originally wanted to spend the summer in New York City, Sleisenger welcomes his change of plans.

"I feel that learning more about the art of theater, especially in a place that is historically renowned for famous actors and playwrights like Oscar Wilde and Colin Farrell, will be such an amazing experience," he said.
