Message from Maura Mc Nally
Chair of Atlantic TU Governing Body
As a native of Leitrim, I see Atlantic TU as a vehicle for ensuring access to justice and access to education. The new university is an opportunity to educate ourselves, our young, and our old, regardless of race, colour creed or gender.
Access to education allows for the growth of a person and the growth of a person leads to the growth of a community and the growth of a community leads to the growth and sustenance of the region.”
It’s an opportunity for ensuring counterbalance and by that, I mean that if you put a weighing scale on our country it would automatically weigh to the east.
Atlantic TU is the means and method of ensuring that the west and northwest not only sustains itself but that it grows for this generation and the next generation.
It is also an opportunity to ensure that the highest standards of education, research and innovation are achieved in this region. We can become leaders in education.
The Atlantic TU is a rising tide. Its aim is to raise everyone with it. It is our university. It is your university. It’s an opportunity to be grasped by both hands.
I would like to wish all staff and students every success in this endeavour.
