Leaving Behind a Lasting & Valuable Legacy to our old Alma Mater
Even though they were in 3 different countries, Joe Rice, Joyce McGreevy & Speedie earlier this week held an Online Video (brainstorming) Conference via Skype to discuss ways that the graduates assembling for the November 7th Reunion could create something innovative and different that would form a lasting contribution to NUI Galway and to society.It was agreed that Joyce & Joe would co-chair a short informal forum at the winter gathering whereby participants could present ideas on how this could be achieved. This would allow people from all backgrounds, experiences and expertise to debate the possibilities and methods on producing some lasting and beneficial legacy which could vary from sponsoring a research scholarship, publishing a thematic book or fund-raising for a worthy cause.
Out of Fun, the Goodness will Come!
Many graduates were inspired by the fact that our fun-packed light-hearted 2008 Reunion produced a surplus that provided houses for poor indigenous communities in Honduras through a current NUIG student/staff volunteer programme known as 'Habitat for Humanity'. So much so that they wanted us to build on the 'feel-good' factor generated and come up with further schemes that could help make a positive difference to people's lives in the college and elsewhere.
