Acknowlegements
The Students' Association has had a year of change, a year of learning and of transformation. This
would have not been possible without having a team of individuals who both are open to change
and have a devotion to our students.
Firstly, we'd like to thank Sinead McKenna. As a Students' Association Coordinator, she has
welcomed a new and very ambitious Presidential Team in a very challenging time. We can't thank
her enough for her hard work and for never giving up. Her openness and compassion have made
a real difference to our team.
Secondly, we'd like to thank Sandra Cook, our Student Engagement Manager. She has gone the
extra mile to make sure that we were happy in our positions and feeling good. Her mentoring,
encouragement and support has been invaluable this year.
Every piece of work in the Students' Association is a team effort, and we would not be able to do
what we do if it wasn't for Janice Kennedy, Madeline Jean, Michelle Kenna, Jessica Copping, and
the full Student Engagement team. As always, we are extremely grateful for your support.
A massive thank you to all the College Lecturing and Support Staff. We know this year has been
extremely difficult for you. We want you to know that we are eternally grateful. Your hard work,
kindness and compassion have had an impact on the livelihoods of thousands of students who
will impact millions of other people. You have made it to this point, guarding our rights for an
education in the middle of a pandemic, you are HEROES.
A special thank you to Gillian Plunket for staying in constant dialogue with our Student Parliament.
To Claire Carney for her passion for education and devotion to our students. To Sheila Lodge for
always reaching out to us, for her constant support and kindness. A further thank to the Board of
Management for continuing to support the SA and for the spaces you share with us.
Finally, the Students' Association would like to share a massive thank you to all the students who
have engaged in the SA throughout the year. We can't be prouder of the work from our Class
Reps, Student Parliament, Society Convenors and other Volunteers who have gone online, have
team up and work hard supporting students, visualizing students concerns, and keeping vibrant
the College Community in a very challenging time. Together, we have triggered positive change
in our Community, and in ourselves.
Such a beautiful response. In a time of crisis and uncertainty, we have united and supported each
other.
