Mairead Maguire
Hi, my name is Mairead! I’m a third-year history and political science student from Donegal and I’m running to be the next Editor of The University Times! I joined the paper as Societies Editor in second year and since then have served as News Editor and Deputy Editor. I believe my experience, passion and work ethic makes me the right person to be at the helm of Ireland’s largest student newspaper. If you want an editor that builds community and provides opportunities for all cohorts of students, vote Mairead for UT Editor!
Max Lynch
Hi there! My name is Max Lynch and I’m running to be your next Ents Officer. I’m a third-year computer engineer, captain of the Trinity Surf Club and resident at DUDJ. The pandemic took away a large part of my college experience and made me realise how important it is that Trinity Ents’ ensures the college is a safe, inclusive environment for all. I want to ensure every student has an event they feel excited to go to, and a space they feel comfortable to relax at after a long day of lectures!
Nadia
Hey! My name is Nadia, a 3rd year CS student. As your future Ents officer I will plan an unforgettable year for all. I love organising (and attending!) events, and have been to arguably more Trinity events than Trinity lectures. I have a strong track record in event management, and I am an integrated part of Dublin’s nightlife scen. I know what students are looking for in events and as your future Ents officer I promise to make Trinity Ents more inclusive, safer and sustainable. As a queer, POC female, I strive to make Trinity Ents more accessible for all.
Ross Donnelly
Hi, I’m Ross Gerard Donnelly, I’m a third year Computer science and business student from
Skerries and I think I’m the perfect candidate to take the helm as ents officer.
Over the last year I’ve been ents officer for Trinity sailing and have organised a variety of
events with them. I’m also directing this year’s pantomime with trinity VDP.
I’d aim to have events become safer and more collaborative by working with the colleges
social justice officers and ents officers. I’d like to see trinity ents have a positive impact on
the planet, the community and the wellbeing of our students.
Julie Smirnova
Hi, I’m Julie! I moved from Russia to Kildare at the ripe age of 2 — now I’m a final year
politics and economics student, the SU citizenship officer, and the public relations officer for
Trinity Vincent de Paul. On Sundays I teach seven year-olds how to fall off horses!
I want to reorient the SU around community: the root of activism. There are nearly 20,000
TCD students scattered across Dublin. If all of us felt part of the union that’s meant to
represent us, if all of us felt like we’d built it, imagine how much we could achieve?

I’m hardworking, committed and most importantly I care. I want to help you during your time at Trinity, and be a friendly face you can turn to when needs be!

Gabi Fullam
Hi! I’m Gabi Fullam (she/her), I’m from Lucan, I’m a final year Philosophy and Sociology student and with your help, I would be honoured to be your next TCDSU president. I want to make sure college works for you. In my four years of college, I have seen just how inaccessible and unreliable Trinity can be when its students are in most need of care. This simply is not good enough, and I want to do something about it. I want to bring about anti-racism measures, a reform to our tutor system, hold college and government accountable and so much more
