Welcome to the SILS Community Network (SCN)


The SCN is an online support network, which connects incoming first year Information & Social Computing students with students in Stage 2.

If you are a first year student

 Our Stage 2 volunteers -  SILS Colleagues - are there to help you to find your feet at SILS.

  • They can share with you their experiences and insights about UCD and SILS.
  • They can answer  those queries about life at UCD and SILS that you didn't know who to ask.
  • They are there to be friendly colleagues.
  • They can refer you on to appropriate resources and support services.

Communications between you and your SILS Colleague are mainly online: by Facebook, Twitter. There are online tutorials to get you started.

If you'd like to be assigned a SILS Colleague
