We are so delighted to welcome Dr. Claire Bohan in our first semester of the academic year. Claire Bohan is Dean of Students in DCU and is responsible for the provision of support and professional development services to the student body. Claire lectured in the School of Language & Intercultural Studies for many years before moving to the International Office to develop the University’s internationalisation agenda. She took up the role of Dean of Students in 2007. Claire’s Master’s in Intercultural Studies from DCU and PhD in Exile Studies from the University of Vienna, ignited her interest in the area of ‘transitions’ and her desire to help students reach their full potential during these formative college years.

This Lunch & Learn will provide a full overview of the academic, personal, financial and professional supports available to all students of the University. Claire would be delighted to take suggestions regarding improving the supports available and answer any questions which you may have regarding the lived experience as an online student at DCU.

About Connected DCU Society

Welcome to Connected DCU Society, a thriving community established in 2021 by DCU alum Sinead Lynch.

Our primary mission is to bridge the gap between online students at DCU, providing a nurturing and inclusive environment that fosters connections and combats the isolation often experienced by remote learners. Initially designed to offer a safe space for DCU’s online students, our society quickly evolved to include in-person students seeking meaningful connections and peer support online. Our core goal remains steadfast: to alleviate the sense of isolation through a vibrant community.

At Connected DCU Society, we organise a variety of events catering to both online and in-person students. From our lively summer meet-ups to our regular study groups using the Pomodoro technique - where productivity meets community spirit! One of our signature events, the “Lunch and Learn” series, invites speakers from diverse occupational and life backgrounds to share their experiences. They’re like TED Talks, but more casual and interactive, aiming to elevate our collective knowledge.

We welcome all students at DCU to join our diverse and international membership base. Our community thrives on the principles of diversity and inclusion, celebrating varied backgrounds and perspectives and coming together as one big, marvellous collective. Members benefit not only from our structured study groups and enlightening “Lunch & Learn” sessions but also from the profound sense of belonging and support within our community.

In a world where online learning can often feel isolating, Connected DCU Society strives to create a space where every student feels heard, valued, and, most importantly, connected. Join us to be a part of a dynamic community where friendships flourish, because here at Connected DCU Society, we are transforming the online learning experience at DCU!
