Great to welcome TDs Naoise Ó Muirí, Cian O'Callaghan, Denise Mitchell and Barry Heneghan to MIE this week. They met with President Prof Teresa O'Doherty, Registrar Dr Seán Delaney and incoming SU VP Ciarán Greene to discuss education, student experience and inclusive learning.

Support shouldn’t be a shield.
It should be scaffolding.

The students I’ve seen grow the most?
They weren’t micromanaged. They were trusted.

Given space to speak up. Mess up. Figure things out.

That’s not a lack of support.
That’s respect.

Fascinating keynote from Dane Stickney at the ‪@sterireland.bsky.social‬ conference

Skillful blend of theory and practice, especially around truly centring student voices in our work

This screenshot really captures Dane’s thoughtful and considerate approach in everything he shares

A brilliant day of reflection, planning and collaboration with our Student Support Services team last week!

From wellbeing to orientation, access to engagement, we’re working together to build belonging at MIE, and we’re excited for what 2025/26 will bring.
