Each year the ITT student body raises huge amounts of cash for worthwhile causes, and R.A.G. Week is the main event in this charitable drive. Our aim is to have fun, while at the same time ensuring we help those less fortunate. Students are part of a community and R.A.G. week reminds us we have a duty to reach out and lend a hand. Our contribution will never be more important than this year. When ordinary people work together, they have the potential to do extraordinary things. David Scott President ITT SU

K SURVIVING RAG WEE It’s coming up to that time of year again…when random things happen, people will do anything for sponsorship, the entire campus relaxes and lets loose all in the name of Charity. ‘Raise and Give’ RAG week kicks off Sunday the 27th of February and is going to be a week-long festival with day, evening and night time events. It’s a week to celebrate college life and raise money for really good causes all at the same time. However, us students have been known to have one too many when it comes to celebrating. So here are a couple of practical tips to ensure you’ll have the best and most memorable ‘Raise and Give’ RAG week EVER!
DON’T DRINK ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. Unless you want to get thrown out or puke within the first hour have a bit of soakage before you head out. It’ll make the night last longer and ease hangover so you’ll last for the whole week.
BRING YOUR MOBILE WITH YOU. So you can contact friends/girlfriends/boyfriends etc, that have wandered off or in a worst case scenario you’ll have a phone if anyone needs to ring 999.
WATCH YOUR DRINK. Drink spiking is not a myth unfortunately, it happens even in Kerry. Everyone is aware of their personal tolerance to alcohol. If you feel odd/ nauseous, or very drunk after only a couple of drinks, and you know that you shouldn’t be, there is a chance that your drink has been spiked. If so, go immediately to a place of safety or contact a member of staff
DRINK AT YOUR OWN PACE. Don’t feel pressured to get involved in rounds. Being a skint student is a perfect excuse to get out of it. Rushing to catch up with others is never a good idea and usually ends a great night prematurely.
YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE, SO DON’T. Always try to plan your way home before the night begins. Stay in a group. Try and not let your friend’s wander off. Don’t drink and drive or take a lift from a person over the limit.
BEER GOGGLES EFFECT. The more you drink the more chance there is of having a coyote ugly experience. Don’t forget all our SHAG week advice. To avoid any surprises or life changing conversations down the line, use a condom!
LOVE THY NEIGHBOR AS THY WOULD LOVE THY SELF. You never know when you may need to borrow a couple of tea bags or a bottle opener! On your way home through residential areas be respectful, think of all the 7am start commuters and families with young kids. SSHH ‘Silent Student Happy Home’.
WATER IS YOUR FRIEND! It’ll keep you hydrated throughout the night (considering all the fluid lost on the dance floor) and should be first thing you have in the morning if you’ve overindulged the night before.
HAVE FUN! Ending up in Accident and Emergency or getting in a mess with the local Gardaí is a sure way of ruining your ‘Raise and Give’ RAG week. Be sensible and pace yourself so you can enjoy the whole week and not be wrecked by Tuesday afternoon.
GET INVOLVED Help raise money and have an unforgettable ‘Raise and Give’ RAG week. But please remember in the words of Jerry Springer, “take care of yourselves and each other”

The Importance of ‘Raise and Give’ Week.... So what is ‘Rag Week’?? It simply stands for ‘Raise and Give’. Here in ITTSU alo ng with both national and international 3rd lev el institutes and universities, organise a one week funfilled line up of entertainment to encourage students to participate and don ate to their chosen charities. The importance of ‘Raise and Give’ in ITT Tralee is highlighted in the work and development of past and present organisations in Kerry, Ireland and abroad, your kind donations have allowe d building developments, research, personal growth and have given a sense of security and hospitality to those who need it. All your donations are greatly appreciated, here in ITTSU we believe the ide a of ‘RAISE AND GIVE’ benefits yourself as much as it benefits those to whom you give. “You alone are helping make you r community a better place to live by helpin g to provide goods and services to people wh o might not otherwise have access to them.”
