Ensuring the Success of our Female Student Athletes

Monday 12th April at 12pm

My name is Kate Wood, I am the Communications Officer with the Irish Universities Association (IUA). I am reaching out in regards a webinar we are running on Monday 12th April at 12pm – Ensuring the Success of our Female Student Athletes as part of our Future of Ireland series. It would be really fantastic if you would be able to share the event with any colleagues or contacts which may be interested in the event.

Hosted by Máire Treasa Ní Cheallaigh guests will discuss the role of Irish Universities in supporting the development of Ireland’s next generation of female athletes at all levels. Guest speaker Anna Geary and a panel of student athletes, sports and academic experts will debate the current status of women in sport and the tangible actions needed to fulfil the potential of each athlete.

We would like as many people as possible to join us for the event as ask questions of our student athletes and other guests. I have also attached some social media graphics which you may like to share across your channels and the registration link is below to share.
