Psychology Students Combine Learning and Action to Support COPE Galway with Donation Drive
From November 12th to 14th, seven third-year psychology students harnessed the power of community spirit by organizing a donation drive in support of COPE Galway. Claire Costello, Katie Curran, Sofia Fragala, Amykate Hannon, Caoimhe Lowry, Daria Marchenko, and Paul Surlis, all participants in Mike Hogan’s Community Psychology and Social Justice module, turned their classroom learning into meaningful action.
For three days, the group set up a collection point in the psychology building, appealing for donations of brand-new clothes, personal items, and toiletries. The university community responded generously, contributing a wide array of essentials for the charity. COPE Galway, which supports vulnerable individuals and families in the Galway area, expressed their gratitude for the donations, noting how these items would make a tangible difference to those in need. This was not the first time some of the students contributed to COPE Galway’s mission.
Earlier in the semester, Sofia Fragala and Katie Curran organized a Halloween-themed fundraiser in collaboration with the university’s Photo and Horror Societies, raising €897 for the charity. The students’ combined efforts underscore the impact of hands-on community engagement. By aligning their academic studies with real-world actions, they have not only supported a vital local cause but also embodied the values of social justice and community service, making a lasting impression both within and beyond the university.
