Bystander intervention scheme aims to foster societal roles

The university experience is a unique one; students at third-level are afforded a valuable opportunity to engage with their discipline of choice. However, while this progression to university incorporates a shift to independent learning and living, with it comes an exposure to enhanced social interaction, and a heightened level of perceived pressure to adapt to new social expectations.
Undoubtedly, a university campus represents an environment where students are afforded opportunities to develop not only academically, but also personally, at what is typically a pivotal time in their personal growth and self-awareness. To coincide with their new academic learning, UCC recognises the need to support students by providing for all aspects of their learning experience; encouraging them to develop academically and beyond, during their time at UCC.
