Rag week will not take place - A note from our sponsors #Galway

"I am very pleased that I have had many opportunities during the past year to attend student events and I congratulate you on the contributions you continue to make to developing a vibrant campus.  I encourage you all to avail of the many opportunities to enrich your student experience within your academic spheres and through clubs, societies and volunteering activities.  I am pleased by the consideration shown by the majority of students to their neighbours in the communities where they live and regret that we are still dealing with a small number of instances of anti-social behaviour. 

I would like to remind students that the student leadership and University authorities have agreed that rag week will not take place and that any use of social media to organise, support or contribute to social events associated with the concept of college week/Rag Week as well as behaviour that would bring the University name into disrepute are examples of breaches of the code. 

Regrettably, in 2013 several students were disciplined for breaches of the Code of Conduct during the month of February.
