“
Being involved in societies enriched my whole university experience. Societies gave me the opportunity to learn worthwhile skills outside of the classroom, from teamwork and leadership to practical skills in finance and events.
Rachel C.
University of Limerick
“My involvement in societies changed the trajectory of my entire college journey. I would almost certainly have dropped out were it not for the support of the friends I made through societies, all of whom are still a huge part of my life today!”
Sinéad C.
