Hello! My name is Seán Kelly and this year I will be your Students’ Union President! I’m a recent graduate of the BA (Hons) Photography degree here and I’m very excited to spend the year representing the fantastic and unique students of IADT. As President, my role is essentially to make sure your college experience is as enjoyable and stress-free as possible to ensure that you make the most of your time studying here. I manage the Students’ Union, including our student space – The Chapel. Within the Union, I work alongside our full-time officers and part-time officers. We represent you in the college as well as within the Union of Students in Ireland (USI), we run events, we run campaigns, and protests, but most of all, we are here to help.
If you need a hand with anything or even just want to chat, pop by our office at the back of the Chapel. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone and I hope you enjoy your time here in IADT!
You can email me or ring my work phone if I’m not in the office: president@iadtsu.com or 083 017 7580
