RECEIVING COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE RSA—Notice of events

Since January 2020, in line with the University's environmental sustainability policy, the Retired Staff Association's practice has been to communicate by website and email with the retired staff community.

Arrangements for events organised by the RSA, when confirmed, will be posted on this website. They will be emailed to all retired staff who have agreed to receive emails from the RSA and who have provided an active email address. So, if you would like to receive advance notice of events and activities by email please send your active email address to Donal Igoe (donal.igoe@universityofgalway.ie). The frequency of email posting will be limited and normally should not exceed a monthly emailing.

PODCASTS

The Registrar's Office, in collaboration with the Retired Staff Association, has initiated a series of podcasts to focus on memorable aspects of University of Galway's history.

Retired staff are invited to propose topics for these 15–20 minute programmes. These can range widely from personal recollections or achievements to important developments or events. Full details, and an Interview proposal form are available here.

Further queries may be emailed to Dermot Flaherty (Deputy President & Registrars Office), or Michael Cuddy (Retired Staff Association, University of Galway).

The first podcast, which recalls the visit of Nelson Mandela to the University, went online in February 2021.

PARKING PERMITS

Remember that parking permits need to be renewed yearly (normally in late August/early September). For information about parking for retired staff contact the Office of the Chief Operating Officer (091) 493 632.
