International Women's Day
Friday, 4 March, 2022
The 8th March is International Women's Day, a day that we usually mark in the College of Engineering and Architecture by celebrating the achievements of our alumna, female faculty, staff and students -we are very proud of them all.
However, this year, the College, shocked and appalled by what is happening in Ukraine, acknowledging many women and their families will have been forced to flee their homes, and in support of our students and staff, from both Russian and Ukraine, will be making a donation of €5,000 to Irish Red Cross' Ukraine Crisis Appeal. Once the donation has been made, we will post an update.
I hope any of you who can afford to do so will join us in making donations to the Irish Red Cross.
Professor Aoife Ahern, Dean of Engineering, College Principal of Engineering and Architecture.
