Marie Sheedy
VP for Education
Hello everyone
I’m delighted to say that I am back again for another year as your WIT Students’ Union Education Officer. I re-ran for this position in March of this year, because I truly feel that I have much more to give to the role having already had one year’s experience. I thoroughly enjoy this job and am grateful for the opportunity to remain a sabbatical officer as part of WITSU, and your Education Officer for 2017/18. I’m excited for the year ahead with a team full of fantastic people.

Steve Daly
Mature Student Officer
Hi ,
My role as ‘Mature student officer’ is to be available for queries and issues that the mature students have and to help direct queries that may not be in my remit but that I can help send in the right direction. To the newbies, I’ll tell them not to be afraid to ask anything no matter how silly, the lecturers require your ask anything to keep them on their toes and because the younger ones won’t want to lose face by seeming uncool whereas you with your socks and sandals have already gone well past looking cool. To the returning matures I’ll say something about saying hi to the fellow matures and help making them feel part of something , they need to remember their first semester when they couldn’t tell staff from student, (the lecturers aren’t carrying anything).
