ART UCC Art Society gives you the opportunity to continue to develop your artistic skills throughout your college years, in a fun, lighthearted and informal setting. We draw, A LOT! Every year UCC Art Society is unique. Amazing people, exciting events and fantastic art, help to make ours one of the best societies to gain new experiences and lasting friendships. We love meeting new people, seeing new faces, learning new techniques, and trying new things. [email protected] Every year we are amazed at how many passionate artists there are in our very own UCC. Painters and drawers, illustrators and designers, sketchers and scrawlers we have them all! Being an open and welcoming society is our most important policy. No matter who you are or what level of skill you have, we hope to see you join us with a pencil in hand this year! UCCArt.Soc UCCArtSoc BIOLOGY Welcome to UCC! Biosoc represents one of the broadest demographics in the university, covering everything from Anatomy to Zoology, and we carry out an equally broad range of activities, ranging from Miracle Berry selling (look up “UCC Biology Society presents - “Taste Tripping!”” on Youtube!) to a comedy roast of the students union candidates for charity. The formal objectives of the Biology society are: Give members the opportunity to discuss and develop their understanding of the various sub-disciplines of the biological sciences. Promote unbiased awareness of issues related to the biological sciences by means of debate and awareness programs. Advocate opinions representative of those of the student body in relation to [email protected] SOCIETY BIOS the aforementioned issues where possible. Raise awareness and generate funding for charitable causes related to the biological sciences. Last year we worked with the Irish Heart Foundation. And of course, in between saving the planet and engaging in thorough scholarly debate we typically find some time for an eh, *occasional* night out. We often collaborate with other societies in our event planning, working with societies both in the UCC and others. As a young society we are still very much in our formative years, and are looking for fresh perspectives and ideas from incoming students. Hopefully we’ll see you at our welcome evening, and can look forward to your own input throughout your years in UCC. uccbiosoc uccbiosoc 13
