union rep Hello all! Hope your all keeping well in this cold weather! Make sure to wrap up tight, last thing you need now during your studies is a cold! (Not to be doing a “mammy” on it!)

Weekly update
I have been very busy the last while between my course and the Student’ Union. Here is a quick update! I was recently down in the Wexford campus where the hustings took place for the part time Students’ Union position of Wexford Campus Office. The hustings were very competitive and have to say congratulations to Ciara Malone for being elected and also congratulations to Alan Grincell for being re-elected Publications Officer. I was out and about on the Institute Open Day representing your Students’ Union. We had great involvement with prospective students, having great fun as well as discussing what we do for the students of the college. The first Class Rep Council took place last week with great attendance and was brilliant to see and listen to the voices of your class, and what their and their classes concerns are at the present moment and upcoming future. At present I am working on the Class Rep Handbook with Podge, this is an intensive process, (It’s a long book!) but the result of having this will be great for all Class Reps, hopefully it will be in full swing for the second college term. I will be doing a Workshop in the coming weeks before the term ends to keep me up to date with my position in the Students’ Union, and represent you all to the very best of my ability and I am very excited about this. I am also looking into having weekly or bi-weekly focus groups with the Class Reps, depending on the what time suits the majority, this will ensure that any issue arising will be communicated, discussed and resolved as soon as possible. If anything else is arising or going on I will keep you all updated. Ps: Anyone else get that Christmas feeling?! If you need anything or want to talk, I’m always here, drop me an email sometime or stop me when Im passing. Keep your head up, keep your heart strong. Mark.
