Welcome from the Editor

Dear Reader,

I am delighted to welcome you to the second issue of our new university magazine.

Now in our third month of existence, integration work continues to gather pace across all Atlantic TU campuses and we have some interesting updates on our progress to share with you in this issue.

Summer may be approaching but we’re not slowing down. We’re busy aligning our systems so we’re ready for our first intake of university undergraduate students in September.

In addition to the behind the scenes work going on we have been engaging with our external communities both regional, national and international. We bring you the latest news on these in this issue.

We also showcase some research activities and recent ATU conferences in this issue and of

course, we couldn’t let Pride month pass without a feature on what Pride means to us here at ATU.

The purpose of this magazine is to keep anyone interested in our new university updated on our activities and initiatives. So, whether you’re a member of our student or staff body, or are one of our regional, national or international stakeholders, we hope you find something of interest here.

If there is anything you would like to see in future issues of this magazine, please email me at anne.donnelly@ atu.ie. We are always looking for new ideas.

Best wishes and happy Pride month,Anne Donnelly
