Mesage from the Students’ Unions’ Presidents Are you wondering how being part of a new TU will affect you? For a start you’ll no longer be graduating from LYIT, IT Sligo or GMIT and you’ll be getting a university degree. The democratic structure that represents you will change. You’ll no longer have three to four fulltime student union officers representing you. You’ll have eleven. The changes we’re proposing will give all students equal representation across the new TU campuses. The vision of the new TU SU is to ensure that every student has a voice, and your voice will be listened to and acted upon. The mission of the future SU is to encourage students to contribute to the community of their new TU and to facilitate belonging and engagement, be that in the democratic process or something small like providing you with clubs and societies that you can join. We want to act in an open and transparent way to be responsive to your needs and we welcome your thoughts on how we can best support you.
