What is Mary I Students' Union?
MISU is the representative body for the students of Mary Immaculate College (MIC), Limerick, and Thurles and we are here to make your time in Mary Immaculate College a memorable one.
We represent and support over 4,500 students of Mary Immaculate College across both campuses and students automatically become members of MISU upon enrolment in MIC, no fees involved!
We enrich your college experience through Student Representation and Supports and the provision of Clubs & Societies, Events, Services, and Facilities.
MISU is accountable to the student body which we represent via a democratically elected Executive Committee whose job it is to oversee and deliver on our Student Representation and Supports function.
Meanwhile, our services, operations, and finances are overseen by a General Manager who is supported by a dedicated team of staff.
The students of MIC are at the core of everything we do in MISU and as your Students' Union, we are here to make your college life easier!
