Princeton Senior Barry Receives Mitchell Scholarship to Study in Ireland

Princeton University senior Annabel Barry has been named a George J. Mitchell Scholar to study philosophy and literature at University College Dublin (UCD). Twelve Mitchell Scholarships were awarded to students nationwide by the nonprofit U.S.-Ireland Alliance based in Washington, D.C. 

Barry, of Southport, Connecticut, attended Stanford Online High School. She is an Englishmajor who is also pursuing certificates in European cultural studies, humanistic studies and theater.

“I’m excited to have the opportunity to study at UCD, a school with a strong institutional commitment to social justice and public service,” Barry said. “The professors I will work with are not only incredible scholars, but are also active in LGBT and women’s rights advocacy in Ireland. I’m also looking forward to living in Dublin because of its literary history and vibrant contemporary theater scene.”
