FLAC Are you interested in Law and helping others? FLAC society provides invaluable legal advice from trained solicitors and barristers to students, at no cost. With centers all around the country, FLAC is a charitable society here to help you when you need it most. We host mock clinics in which we train volunteers who then supervise our clinics, which are 100% confidential. Throughout the year, we host fundraisers for Irish centers, hold topical talks with well-known speakers, and run [email protected] campaigns which benefit students, such as our “Know Offence” campaign on sexual offences, or our J1 Visa “Know Your Rights” campaign. Last year we held a hugely successful Moot Court competition in Blackhall Place, Dublin, with the prize of an internship with human rights and criminal law firm, KOD Lyons! So why not get involved with FLAC, we hope to see you at our volunteer training and events to get some practical legal experience while still in college! UCC FLAC Society UCCFLAC FOODIES We at The Foodies Society here in UCC are the official society for Food Science, Nutritional Science, Food Marketing & Entrepreneurship and International Development and Food Policy and of course, any other food lovers in UCC. As a society we have grown tremendously in the past few years and hope to do so continuously over the next few years. As a newly branded society, we are forever trying to think of new, innovative and exciting events for our fellow foodies. Recently, we are becoming well known for our famous Cork City food crawls, as well as our annual ball. [email protected] SOCIETY BIOS Our food crawl was another great success last year, with over 100 students joining us on a tour of Corks finest restaurants ranging from Mexican to Italian to Chinese. We hope to continue and expand this food crawl in the coming year. Our annual ball has proved a phenomenal success over the past three years, growing in size each year. Last year we held a carnival theme ball with plenty of carnival games, and of course food! Each year we try to be bigger and better than the year before, so if you would like to join us in The Foodies be sure to catch us on campus on the societies open day for a chat and most definitely some foodie freebies!
