UL Foundation The University of Limerick Foundation was established in 1989 to provide, in partnership with UL, national and international leadership and funding for the University’s advancement. In its early years, the Foundation set the standard for Irish fundraising and that tradition continues today. With close to $200 million raised to date through its international network, the Foundation is a leading recipient of international philanthropic funding in Ireland. The Foundation constantly strives to strengthen the links that the University has built with its graduate community and the business community on the island of Ireland and beyond. Guided and supported by a board of national and international leaders from business, industry and the arts, the Foundation is proud of the role that it plays in assisting the physical and academic development of the University and in ensuring that the University of Limerick continues to be at the heart of many national initiatives. Find out more about the University of Limerick Foundation Alumni Association Established in 1987, the University of Limerick Alumni Association (ULAA) is a membership organisation which provides an active link between graduates of UL and their alma mater in support of both the University and the growing alumni community (now numbering close to 55,000). Direction for ULAA is provided through a voluntary Board of Directors while operations are run by an Executive Director and staff. Membership of ULAA is automatic for all UL graduates and provides the opportunity for members to maintain a life-long relationship with the University and fellow graduates. Alumni benefit from a wide range of services including access to ‘UniversaL’, an online community exclusive to UL graduates, quarterly web newsletter ‘alumni@UL’ and invitations to the annual Alumni Reunion Day, the Alumni-Student Debate and the Alumni lecture Series. ULAA is also a voice representing the views of alumni on campus and through which graduates can communicate with their alma mater. www.ulaa.ul.ie Volunteering The President's Volunteer Award is designed to support students take up volunteering opportunities and the President of the University will formally recognise students for their volunteering work.

Evening Courses - "joy of learning" The Department of Life Long Learning offer many evening courses to the community - more information AccessCampus - Homework Club We in the University of Limerick are very pleased to continue our involvement in the wider community of Limerick and its environs through our AccessCampus and its homework club. Originally conceived and implemented by previous Presidents of the University of Limerick it continues in its quest to make the University accessible to all parts of society through supporting "fun to learn" initiatives. The Homework Club provides a basis for the reinforcement of learning at school with the added bonus of seeing the practical applications of the knowledge gained through interaction with professionals. Our Access programme at the University of Limerick has grown steadily from an intake of 52 students in 2002/03 to 98 students in 2005/06 availing of the access route to undergraduate programmes, while in the current year we now have Access graduates availing of post-graduate studies. It is initiatives such as the homework club that allow students the confidence, knowledge and opportunity to grasp the Access opportunities that exist. We, through our programmes, demonstrate our ongoing commitment to Access initiatives such as the Homework Club and we look forward to welcoming many more students to the programme at the University of Limerick.

Fondúireacht OL Bunaíodh Fondúireacht Ollscoil Luimnigh (ULF) in 1989 chun ceannaireacht agus maoiniú náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta a sholáthar, i gcomhpháirtíocht le OL, le haghaidh dul chun cinn na hOllscoile. Le linn blianta tosaigh na fondúireachta, leag ULF síos an caighdeán ó thaobh bhailiú airgid in Éirinn agus tá an traidisiún sin fós ann. Agus beagnach $200 milliún cruinnithe go dtí seo ag an bhFondúireacht, tá sí ar cheann de na heagraíochtaí is mó a fhaigheann airgead daonchairdiúlachta ón iasacht in Éirinn. Bíonn an Fhondúireacht seasta ag iarraidh na naisc a cruthaíodh idir an Ollscoil agus pobal chéimithe na hOllscoile agus an pobal gnó ar oileán na hÉireann agus níos faide ó bhaile a neartú. Faoi threoir agus thacaíocht ó bhord de cheannairí náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta ó shaol an ghnó, is ábhar bróid don Fhondúireacht an ról a bhíonn aici ag cuidiú leis an bhforbairt ar an Ollscoil ó thaobh gnéithe fisiciúla agus acadúla de agus ag cinntiú go mbíonn Ollscoil Luimnigh i gceartlár cuid mhór tionscnamh náisiúnta i gcónaí. Cumann Alumni Is eagraíocht chomhaltais é Cumann Alumni Ollscoil Luimnigh (ULAA), a bunaíodh in 1987 agus a chuireann nasc gníomhach ar fáil idir céimithe de chuid OL agus a n-alma mater chun tacú leis an Ollscoil agus leis an bpobal alumni atá ag fás (thart ar 53,000 duine faoi láthair) araon. Tá ULAA faoi stiúir Bhord Stiúrthóirí deonach agus reáchtálann Stiúrthóir Feidhmeach agus foireann na hoibríochtaí. Tá gach céimí de chuid OL ina c(h)omhalta de ULAA go huathoibríoch agus bíonn deis ar an mbealach sin ag céimithe caidreamh saoil a bheith acu leis an Ollscoil agus lena gcomhchéimithe. Baineann céimithe tairbhe as raon leathan seirbhísí lena n-áirítear rochtain ar ‘UniversaL’, pobal ar líne do chéimithe OL amháin, nuachtlitir ráithiúil ar líne ‘alumni@UL’ agus cuirí chuig Lá Athchaidrimh Alumni, Díospóireacht Mac Léinn-Alumni agus sraith léachtaí. Cuireann ULAA tuairimí na n-alumni in iúl ar an gcampas chomh maith agus féadann céimithe teagmháil a dhéanamh leis an alma mater acu tríd an ULAA. www.ulaa.ul.ie
