MAP My Way

     

    The MAP Student Advisory Service runs MAP My Way, an ongoing support over the course of the semester in collaboration with MAP Ambassadors, to aid the smooth transition of new students to university. MAP My Way is delivered via targeted sessions that are designed to create a positive first-year experience by supporting students to:

    • build connections, make friends and get involved in the wider social aspects of university life,  
    • develop strategies to engage with key university supports as required, 
    • cultivate key academic and organisational skills needed to succeed at Maynooth University. 

     

    MAP My Way (27 September - 7 December 2023)

    You are invited to come along to MAP My Way which takes place weekly throughout the semester with a range of fun, interactive, useful weekly get-togethers with MAP Ambassadors and students. Each week will focus on different information and skills that you can develop to help you succeed at University. These include connecting with MAP, getting started with the MILO learning platform to support writing assignments, using the Maynooth technology tools and minding your mental health.We are also marking the 25th anniversary year of MAP with some MAP themed activities.

    You don't need to book in or worry about coming late. You can just show up at any time to An Tobar (the ground floor in the Student Services building, North Campus).
