Offaly woman is student ambassador at university

Jessica Lennon, Edenderry, a former student of Oaklands Community College, Edenderry, has been appointed Student Ambassador in St Patrick’s Pontifical University, Maynooth.

Ambassadors are a vital link for incoming students, assisting with orientation activities, providing campus tours and being on hand with advice and recommendations on how best to transition from second level into life at university. The Student Ambassadors will also assist at university events throughout the year passing on their firsthand experiences of life at St Patrick’s.

On her appointment, Jessica said: “As a student away from home, I wanted to be an ambassador so I could be part of the great network of support that is here in St Patrick’s. There is also such a broad range of clubs and societies to be a part of.

“I have been able to organise events in both St Patrick’s Pontifical University and Maynooth University, it’s been invaluable to meet people on both campuses. Not only do you have the chance to get a great education in St Patrick’s you also can become an engaged student which gives you so many new experiences”, she added.

St Patrick’s Pontifical University is located in Maynooth.
