SOUTH EAST ASIA
Life is full of surprises and we were one of the latest
shockwaves to hit UCC last autumn! Yes we are new on
campus. What? How? Why? Ok, here’s the story... A guy
who was super bored with life and wanted to make an
impact lobbied up three of his friends to pursue this idea
that was floating around for awhile - to set up an official
representation of SEA students in UCC. There are loads of
us Southeast Asians here in Cork studying various degrees,
especially health science courses such as medicine and
dentistry.

Despite surviving our inaugural year with flying colours and
getting good reception from our members, it is still a pretty
new entity with a lot of untapped potential. Hence to all
the 1st year SEA students that are new in town just like us
(well, we technically might be a year or more senior to you
all) do come and join the ever growing family! We have
monthly events that range from simple socials at our fav
local restaurants for a chat and catch up sessions to all
night fun karaoke and dance! If you have a great event
idea in mind, do come and drop us a line.

SSDP
Students for Sensible Drug Policy is a progressive and
provocative society on campus. Our mission is to bring about
justice in the face of the failed criminalization of members
of our society and societies around the globe for non-violent
drug offences. Members of SSDP call on the governments to
review the outdated drug policies which are in place, and to
replace them with a system of decriminalization and regulation
of all drugs. The society provides information and guidance on
campus for students eager to make a difference in college and
indeed, nationally. We want to start the conversation about
taking the drug market out of the hands

SOCIETY BIOS
of criminals and passing it into the hands of the competent
authorities, thus making drugs safer for all who choose to
use them. SSDP is an ideal way to meet and socialise with
new people through the many social events that are held
throughout the college year. Debates, movie screenings, guest
speakers and more are all planned for 2015/2016 in UCC.
If this is a topic that sparks your interest or one which you feel
passionately about come join us in the conversation, because
the time to “Just Say No” is well and truly over. The time for
change, the time to get involved and the time to join Students
for Sensible Drug Policy is now. Make every voice heard.
