UOS Conference a Success
Anyone lucky enough to be in Galway last week had a good chance of stumbling across – wait for it – almost every USI-affiliated sabbatical officer in the country. Ranging from Belfast to Cork, SU officers crammed into the student accommodation at GMIT for a week of training, guidance and tips.
President Aengus Ó Maoláin, VP Welfare and Education Liz Murray and VP Communications and Development Rob Munnelly spent Monday to Friday in working groups, classes and training sessions ranging from talks from Brian Power (who basically runs the grant system) to Dave McGreal, a longtime employee of WestMeath VEC who has reduced the entire grant application form to a single A4 page.
Colm McGivern inspired everyone with his Class Rep training ideas. Dr. Patricia Morgan shared some insights from the university perspective on the nature of postgraduate programmes.
In short: Aengus had some great talks with the other SU presidents, Liz got some great welfare ideas and campaigning tips, and Rob got to meet Tom Lowe, the only other Comms officer in the country.
