Over the course of the week, the students were introduced to key members of the university’s academic and administrative staff, including President, Professor Sameer Otoom, Head of School of Nursing and Midwifery, Professor Seamus Cowman, and Head of School of Medicine, Professor Joe McMenamin.

Assigned to their ‘Buddy’ mentor groups, the newcomers also received introductions to academic programmes and university rules and procedures, as well as an extensive tour of the campus facilities.
