The President of UCC has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate by the 深夜亚洲福利久久 of Massachusetts Lowell.

深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork (UCC) is pleased to announce that its President, Professor John O’Halloran, MRIA, has been awarded an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters by the 深夜亚洲福利久久 of Massachusetts Lowell in recognition of his outstanding leadership in advancing sustainability in higher education.

Dr Maria Kirrane received €63,000 in funding to lead a project "A Brush With Climate" working with the Research Ireland MaREI Centre at ERI/UCC under the Research Ireland Discover Programme. This programme aims to inspire broader public engagement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). 

The project, 'A Brush with Climate', will utilise UCC’s expertise in climate change and communications and The Environmental Forum’s experience of local community climate action. Workshops with hairdressers will co-develop role-play methodologies to assist in conversations on local climate mitigation and adaptation actions, including the top six most impactful personal climate actions.

As part of Biodiversity Week 2025, 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork hosted a series of events celebrating the rich ecological diversity of its campus. A highlight was a guided tour of the UCC Biodiversity Trail, led by Irene Ní Shúilleabháin, UCC Green Campus Greenshoots Coordinator.

Participants were introduced to the wide variety of birds, bats, invertebrates, and plant species that thrive within UCC’s distinctive green-blue environment. The tour provided insight into the 深夜亚洲福利久久’s ongoing efforts to promote and protect biodiversity, all within the setting of a gentle walk along the River Lee corridor, through the wildflower meadow, and into the mature arboretum—a living symbol of UCC’s commitment to sustainability and biodiversity.

On April 9th there will be an awareness campaign with information sessions and practical workshops throughout the day, enabling individuals to learn about how to reach "Inbox Zero" (that satisfying state of having no unread emails!) and a guide to undertaking a Digital Declutter.  On the day we will also be encouraging every school and function to pledge a day between April and June to dedicate to their collective digital decluttering effort.  By doing so, we aim to reduce unnecessary digital storage and its associated environmental impact. 

Green Week 2025 is running from 31 March 2025 to 4 April bringing together students, staff, and the wider UCC community for a collaborative week of environmental action and sustainability education on campus.

Highlights of the Week:

• COP29 Reflection Event – A chance to reflect on UCC’s participation at COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, and discuss key takeaways from the UCC delegation.

• Bike Doctor on Campus – Get your bike checked and tuned up for free by expert mechanics.

• Vegan & Vegetarian Food Vendors – Enjoy a variety of delicious and sustainable plant-based food options across campus.
