This is IT Sligo’s second year to publish the Yeats Academy Yearbook. It was planned to coincide with the end-of-year Creative Showcase of final year student’s work. But this year, due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are launching the Yearbook virtually in June and plan to have an online showcase in September.

It is an exciting time for IT Sligo as we work with our Connacht Ulster Alliance partners in LYIT and GMIT to become a Technological University. Our vision is that the Creative Arts, which are so central in the West and Northwest of Ireland will play a pivotal role in this new university. Our recently formed Yeats Academy of Arts, Design & Architecture, which will soon have its refurbished new buildings in the will be a key player in these formative university times. Sincere thanks to the Yeats Academy staff who provided such a rich educational experience to these final year students. They encouraged them to develop their unique imagination and creativity to help them acquire the knowledge, skills and experience needed to find their distinctive voice as an actor, architect, artist,

creative hub on the Northern campus, the Yeats Academy has achieved in such a short time.

I hope this yearbook inspires future potential students to come to IT Sligo, to push the parameters of their creativity and to pursue their dreams.

Tá súl agam go mbainfidh tú taitnamh as an leabhar seo.
