Global Brigades are calling for medicine and nursing students to volunteer and join their medical brigade to Ghana this August. The organisation, which is the world’s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organisation, will be sending a medical brigade to the country for 10 days. Although brigades are generally consist of 15 to 25 people, the medical one which Global Brigades aim to send will be higher due to the area’s demand for nurses and medical assistants. Volunteers interested in participating in the programme must cover their own expenses for [...]

Merit is underrated
Access to University is a privilege, not a right. Dublin City University (DCU) campus prides itself on the manner in which it is open to, and a part of the local community. Considerable resources are put in to opening up the campus to local children and adults. It’s an admirable sentiment that I have not seen in the two other Universities that I have studied in. Noble as the policy clearly is, it does at times seem more like a post primary after school club than a third level campus. [...]
All-Ireland Student Takeover, DCUFM
DCUFM always believe “you can’t beat good radio”. Undoubtedly this motto was amplified on Saturday with the first ever All-Ireland Student Radio Takeover. The event itself, which trended on twitter under #SRT012, hosted six of Ireland’s finest college broadcasters to make it the beginning of something special. The idea itself was born way back in the middle of August last year when Russell James, better know as R.J., had a vision of such an event. What followed was a lot of planning and e-mailing by DCUFM {Seamus Conwell (DCUFM Manger), Cian McMahon (Technological guy) and Robyn Keleghan (MPS [...]

Over to you, Mr President…
DCU’S President told students last week what he really thinks of Ireland’s Minister for Education, his ideas on how to engage with students and the big names he hopes to bring on campus for the Constitutional Convention Campaign. At last week’s Class Representative Council meeting, Professor Mac Craith commended Mr Quinn and said he felt that ‘for the first time in a while we have a Minister who is passionate about education.’ Professor Mac Craith defended Ruairi Quinn’s changed position on many financial issues concerning third level education in Ireland. [...]
DCU’s power packed bench crush UUJ
DCU: 0-17 UUJ: 1-05 A powerful second half performance from DCU’s star studded side ended UUJ’s chances of reaching the final for the second year running. The O’Byrne Cup winners have an unrivalled strength in depth and they were able to call on the services of inter county stars David Kelly and Michael Murphy to help them turn around their performance in the second half. The first half was evenly contested and a well taken shot by UUJ’s Antoin McFadden gave fellow Donegal start Michael Boyle no chance in the [...]
DCU roll Poly out of Sigerson
DCU 0-16 (0-5) UUJ 1-5 (1-3) DUBLIN City University will be seeking their third Sigerson Cup in six years tomorrow against Maynooth. They ran out rather easy winners in the finish against UUJ and will be full of confidence for the decider in less than 24 hours time. The city side showed what they can do right from the first play of the game. A great move of one-touch-football was finished by Paul Flynn. The game did not take long to get straight into top [...]
