Just Add Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ponds are extraordinary reservoirs of biodiversity and play a critical role as Ireland faces significant biodiversity loss. More than half of Ireland\u2019s amphibian wetlands have been lost to drainage, industrial peat extraction, pollution and natural senescence in the past century. Naturally vegetated ponds are excellent at carbon sequestration, with small ponds sequestering 20-30 times the amount of carbon compared with woodlands, grasslands and other habitats. UCD Estate Services understand the value of ponds (or lakes as they are known on campus), and are committed to protecting and creating pond habitats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As most alumni know, UCD has historically been home to breeding pairs of Mute Swans on both the Main and Upper Lakes. Typically, swans start building nests on the islands in March or April, and the cygnets have always been a source of joy on campus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Specifically designed to encourage biodiversity, the Upper Lake (a former carpark and bus stop that were transformed in 2014) lies between the Engineering Building and Sutherland School of Law. This natural-looking lake has been carefully designed to encourage biodiversity, with marginal planting, cobbled beaches for wading birds, islands for nesting, and deeper troughs of cooler water for fish. It\u2019s a hub of activity where you can watch birds, bees, hoverflies, and Ireland\u2019s biggest dragonfly, the Emperor Dragonfly, in action. The Moorhen is a common sight, as are herons and cormorants, and you\u2019ll see Tufted Ducks bobbing on the surface or swimming underneath. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The Lower or \u2018Secret\u2019 Lakes, behind the UCD Veterinary Sciences Centre and UCD Conway Institute, are part of an original watercourse that has been developed into reed beds and ponds and are home to a variety of birds including the wren, Moorhen and the rarer Water Rail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

UCD Estate Services actively supports birdlife with a daily feeding programme. (Please note that alumni are requested to let us know if you spot any frogs while exploring!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as fostering biodiversity, the Lakes are a clever piece of engineering, gathering rainwater from surrounding buildings and attenuating and releasing when required. They are also a resource for the academic community who use them for scientific studies, and a wonderful amenity for students, faculty, staff and the public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Belfield became the site of the new university campus, it comprised a number of old estates, each with their own woodland attached. As Ciar\u00e1n Bennett, UCD Estates Operations Manager, explains: \u201cThese formed a natural woodland boundary for the campus. Colleagues such as horticulturist Ciar\u00e1n Beattie have been instrumental in the management of campus trees and woodlands over time, through initiatives such as the 8km Boundary Woodland Walk and UCD`s annual Tree Planting Programme.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creative Futures Academy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A new Creative Futures Academy (CFA) sees academics across three institutions \u2013 UCD, NCAD and IADT \u2013 work together with industry experts to identify the future skills and knowledge needed for the Irish creative and cultural sectors. It is the first collaboration of its kind in higher education in Ireland, and the project is funded by a \u20ac10 million grant from the Higher Education Authority\u2019s Human Capital Initiative. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Courses available include those in the areas of art and ecology; service design; data visualisation; user experience design; writing for stage and screen, as well as design thinking and others. A range of study programmes will be available, from short continuing professional development (CPD) courses, to postgraduate certificates and bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degrees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capital projects at each of the three institutions involved are also being developed. At UCD, the Blackbox studio and media lab, due to open later this year in the former Dramsoc Theatre in the Newman Building, will support teaching in drama, music, film, creative writing and digital content creation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Micro-Credentials<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

UCD now offers more than 80 short microcredential courses in multiple sectors including Agriculture and Food, Data Science, Financial Mathematics, Financial Services, Health Data Analytics, Law, and Medicine and Health. Micro-credentials, ideal for those who may not have the time to engage with longer programmes of study, and an excellent choice for professionals looking to upskill, pivot or change their career, provide learners with globally recognised accreditation and the possibility of using that credit towards a UCD award, such as a UCD professional diploma or master\u2019s. UCD Alumni can avail of a 20 per cent discount on a number of microcredentials. See www.ucd.ie\/microcredentials\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming Soon: UCD\u2019s New Sport & Performance Complex<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

UCD has been granted planning permission for a three-storey multipurpose sports hall, Tennis Centre and music performance centre. The facility combined will also serve as an assessment centre for end of term exams with capacity for 2,250 students. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development will also provide two new UEFA-standard artificial football pitches, six new five-a-side football pitches, and an artificial half-size hockey training pitch. The project, estimated to cost more than \u20ac87million, will be funded by the annual \u20ac254 student levy which has in the past funded existing sports and student facilities and will now support this new development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Neurodiverse Friendly Campus<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Neurodiversity describes the wide variation in human brain functions relating to sociability, learning, attention and mood, and encompasses many common conditions traditionally labelled as Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia and dyspraxia. UCD acknowledges and respects all types of brain functioning and implicitly understands that each and all can contribute to the tapestry of humanity given the correct conditions. The fact that some types of brain functioning are more common in the majority of people is not assumed to imply deficit in the minority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of its continuing work to make UCD a neurodiverse-friendly environment for students and staff, UCD Neurodiversity Working Group\u2019s research project, Making UCD a Neurodiversity Friendly Campus, led by Associate Professor Timmy Frawley in UCD School of Nursing, Midwifery and Health Systems, is carrying out a review with a view to making recommendations for enhancement. A literature review, a sensory audit of the Belfield campus, a survey of both staff and students and focus group discussions are now complete, and preliminary findings are currently being reviewed<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

New additions to UCD Library Special Collections are worth a visit<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adding To The James Joyce Archive At UCD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

UCD Special Collections recently acquired new letters that add to the Joyce material in the C.P. Curran-Helen Laird collection. Joyce and Curran attended UCD, graduated together and remained lifelong friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to a 1904 note from Joyce to Curran arranging to meet in Bewleys, the acquisition included a letter to Curran in 1917 while Joyce was in Zurich working on Ulysses. In this letter, he describes how he is \u201crecovering from a painful \u2013 and this time dangerous \u2013 illness of the eyes\u201d. This is significant as it may be the first description by Joyce of his eye trouble, which would afflict him for the rest of his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These letters are a significant addition to the Curran-Laird collection of correspondence, books, photographs and ephemera in UCD Special Collections, which was deposited in 1972. The original correspondence collection features more than 400 letters and includes a further 23 letters from Joyce to Curran as well as many written to Curran by Joyce\u2019s family, associates and friends. This collection is a valuable resource for Joyce scholars throughout the world, and is available to view on the UCD Digital Library. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We urge people to explore these fascinating letters in UCD\u2019s Digital Library, to see Joyce\u2019s words in his own handwriting,\u201d said Dr Sandra Collins, UCD University Librarian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curran (1883-1972), a lawyer and historian of 18th-century Dublin architecture, sculpture and plasterwork, became a great supporter of Joyce. Curran was married to actress, costumier, teacher and suffragist Helen Laird (1874-1957) and a vibrant and diverse group of artists, historians, playwrights, actors and writers attended the couple\u2019s famed salons in Rathgar. Curran was a model for the character Gabriel in Joyce\u2019s The Dead. He is also mentioned by name in Ulysses, where Stephen Dedalus recalls that he owes him ten guineas. www.ucd.ie\/specialcollections<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
