Irish Examiner and UCC to host CAO offers Q&A
The Irish Examiner and University College Cork (UCC) will host an online Q&A on Wednesday, 19 August, for students seeking instant answers to their CAO or going-to-college questions.
The session, “I’ve got my offer – what next?”, will be hosted on both www.ucc.ie/caolive and irishexaminer.com from 3-4.30pm. It’s aimed at students who have received a CAO offer and have questions and who, in particular, may have made applications to UCC.
The expert team will also be able to offer general guidance and advice to students on the CAO and college life.
The expert UCC panel will include:
- Loretta Brady, College of Arts, Celtic Studies & Social Sciences
- Anne Wallace, College of Business & Law
- Mags Arnold, College of Medicine & Health
- Patricia O'Shaughnessy, College of Science, Engineering & Food Science
- Aidan Coffey, President of the UCC Students’ Union
- Sandra O’Herlihy, Admissions Office
- Olive Byrne, UCC Plus+ Office (HEAR)
- Mary O’Grady, Disability Support Service (DARE)
- Noelette Hurley, IT Services
- Michele Power, Quercus Talented Students' Programme
- Tom McCarthy, Office of Marketing and Communications
- Gregory Higgins, College of Medicine & Health
The software used to run these events is an application created by Pubble, a Cork-based tech startup co-founded by UCC graduate John Dineen from Kinsale.
