An IT Sligo student who has a strong record of volunteering in Sligo is featured in a national exhibition in celebration of the European Year of Volunteering 2011. The exhibition is sponsored by Campus Engage, the national network for the promotion of civic engagement in Irish higher education.
A student of Applied Social Studies, Mark Millar is one of 20 students featured in the exhibition which was hosted at IT Sligo last week as part of a national tour of Higher Education Institutions. Mark was recognised for his work volunteering with the Legion of Mary and St Vincent de Paul in Sligo.
The photographic exhibition of student volunteering recognises the extent and diversity of student commitment to communities with diverse organisations ranging from the Christina Noble Foundation in Vietnam, to Chrysalis Community Drug Project in Dublin, from the Galway Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to community enterprise in Belfast, from peer mentoring programmes in Limerick and Cork to Karate coaching in Newry.
