CLUBS & SOCIETIES AT GMIT

Clubs and Societies at GMIT promote community, personal development, and student involvement. Joing a club or society gives you a chance to explore and participate in interests you might not encounter in your studies. Meet like-minded people and make your college experience something to remember!

HOW TO JOIN A CLUB

Clubs and Societies Day at the end of September at the Dublin Road campus and it is the best place to find information on the individual groups. Joining a Club or Society simply entails signing up at the desk, and going along to the meetings or gatherings. The degree of involvement is entirely at the discretion of the student. Information on Clubs and Societies is widely publicised on campus, particularly in the SU websites and newsletters. If you miss Clubs and Societies Day, you only need to get in touch with the group and find out when they meet.

NOT WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR?

Start your own Club or Society!
Starting your own group is easy!  Come into the Students' Union or contact your Clubs & Socs Rep for a chat, and we can get you on your way to starting a new club or society.  The process is short and relatively easy.  We can help you brainstorm ideas, get them down on paper, and set up your first meeting.  We can also help with ideas on fundraising, activities, organisation, and publicity.

STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS

Every year, GMIT acknowledges students who have succeeded outside of their academic studies.  The Achievement Awards are an ideal forum for a celebration of all those who have contributed and excelled in extra curricular activities of the college over the last year.  The annual award ceremony commemorates both individuals and teams that have surpassed themselves in academic, personal and sporting practices.

While it is impossible to remember everyone that has contributed, the Awards are an ideal opportunity to highlight all those that have devoted so much of their time and energy into their respective clubs and societies.
