Mary Immaculate College Students’ Union
Mission Statement:
Giving you a voice, helping you to use it, enriching your college experience.
Mary Immaculate College Students’ Union (MISU) provides support, representation and services to its members, the students of MIC.
Students are represented by the elected MIC Students’ Union Executive Committee Officers.
MISU aims to:
• Give students a say in their own student/college life;
• Protect and represent students in academic and non-academic matters;
• Create a positive college experience for students;
• Help new students integrate into college life; and
• Facilitate extra-curricular activities for students.
MISU works to achieve these aims by:
• Working together with all
college departments to ensure that key relationships are developed and maintained;
• Providing assistance, information services, guidance, security
and entertainments for the student population;
• Providing the best possible balance between academic and social experiences;
• Being an approachable and welcoming point of contact for students, even if it’s just
for a chat!;
• Encouraging increased student participation in extra- curricular activities; and
• Improving the College’s physical environment.
Some of the events organised by MISU include Orientation and Fresher’s Week entertainments, weekly club nights during the semester, Rag Week , Clubs & Societies days, Clubs & Society Awards as well as student gigs.
CLUBS AND SOCIETIES
The running of clubs and societies at MIC forms a significant part of the work of the MISU. The Union promotes and coordinates the activities of clubs and societies and stimulates the growth of new societies. Clubs and societies are
a great way of meeting new people in college, providing
an opportunity to mix with like-minded individuals. New members are always welcome and students are encouraged to set up new clubs and societies, ensuring there’s something
for everyone. There’s a place
for anyone who would like to
get involved, whether you’re a beginner or an expert. Some of the clubs and societies on offer in MIC are:
Clubs: Hurling, Gaelic Football, Equestrian, Tag Rugby, Soccer, Badminton, Basketball, Hockey.
Societies: An Cumann Gaelach, Dramatic Arts (MIDAS), Creative Writing, Debating, International Students, LGBT, One World, Radio (Wired FM), Traditional Music, Live Music, RAG.
