On 10 June, a ceremony was held to mark the culmination of a process led by the UCD Employee Engagement Network to select an External Community Charity Partner. The charity selected was Special Olympics Ireland (SOI), a well known charity to many members of the UCD community who already volunteer and contribute to the mission of Special Olympics, to provide year-round sports training and a programme of competition for people with an intellectual disability.
SOI join UCD Volunteers Overseas (UCDVO) and the UCD Champions Scholarship Fund as the university’s charities of choice, as voted by UCD employees. You can read more about the signing of the MOU between SOI, UCDVO and the UCD Champions Scholarship Fund on the Culture & Engagement website.
