Inaugural Forum

The inaugural UCC Student Forum took place on Monday 10th October 2022 and Tuesday 11th October 2022.

The purpose of the Forum is to ‘...capture the inclusive student voice, representative of our diverse student population’ as set out in Action 3.3.3 of the Strategic Plan, UCC 2022.  

It is an exercise in deliberative and participatory democracy that brings together a group of individuals to learn about, discuss, and deliberate on a complex student issue or opportunity, and then give a considered opinion on what should happen. It places students at the heart of important strategic and policy issues facing UCC as a community and provides a richer understanding of ‘high level’ queries, rather than one to one interviews or surveys thus leading to more contextualised and developed responses by UCC.  

Forum Question 

What kind of university experience would you as good ancestors create for UCC students of the future?
