What's happening right now?

Rag Week 2012

RAG Week 2012 is taking place from Monday, January 23rd, to Friday, January 27th. All money raised will be donated to a number of Trinity based charities. There will be a large amount of various activities taking place during each day and night. The Trinity charities which the proceeds from RAG Week go towards are VDP, VTP, S2S, Suas, FLAC, Amnesty, Cancer Soc, and the Student Hardship Fund.

RAG Week Fundraisers

After the success of RAG Week 2011, we'll be continuing the RAG Week Fundraisers option. These are people who sign up to raise money through getting involved in activities already taking place, or by coming up with their own ideas and doing them during RAG Week 2012. This idea can be anything at all, and you can collect money in whichever way you wish. There is no limit on a maximum or minimum you need to raise to be a RAG Week Fundraiser. 

We'll be working with MyCharity.ie again this year. It's proven that fundraising online helps to raise far more than carrying around sponsorship forms, so give this a shot!

What can we do for you?

Trinity Ents is the branch of the Students' Union that makes sure you're enjoying college, making plenty of friends and going on lots of fun nights out. Ents runs club nights, live music and comedy gigs, large acts and much more. There are plenty of regular weekly nights both on and off campus.
The University Times is an editorially independent newspaper produced with the support of the Students' Union. It comes out every three weeks during term, but the website is updated regularly with news and staff blogs.
Grinds Service This service exists to help students struggling with their courses and facilitates them in finding a tutor. Students can find tutors to help with your studies, at any level, or advertise to give grinds to students in Dublin's secondary schools or in Trinity College.
Accommodation Advisory Service The Accommodation Advisory Service helps students find accommodation by providing them with advice and access to house-hunting resources. During August and September a fully staffed service is run from the Students' Union office in House Six.
Bookshop The Students' Union Bookshop is located on the first floor of House Six. It is open between 9:30am and 5:30pm during term. The bookshop buys and sells second-hand course book, with book buying taking place after the end of exams in early June.
Jobs Mailing List The Students' Union maintains a mailing list of students looking for jobs. Emails are sent out to this list a few times a week, depending on the rate at which available positions are coming in. The jobs listed in these emails are suitable for students to be employed in.
