12 Oct 2022

UCC welcomed Sir Bob Geldof to campus on 12 October 2022.

The musician and activist visited the President’s Office on Wednesday evening where he met with Professor John O’Halloran, UCC President, signed the Visitors’ Book and was presented with a copy of 'The Atlas of The Great Irish Famine' published by Cork University Press.

Sir Geldof was in Cork for the presentation of the Mutatio Factorem Award by UCC’s Law Society. The Mutatio Factorem ‘change maker’ Award is given to people who have in their career and or life brought about significant change and inspiration in their industry or area of work or through their own personal life.

Founded by former President Mary Robinson, who was the first recipient of the award, Bob Geldof is the third person to be honoured with the Mutatio Factorem Award, following actor Stephen Fry, who received the award last year.
