MAP My Way

     

    The MAP Student Advisory Service runs MAP My Way, an ongoing support over the course of the semester 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 begins during Welcome Week. The Welcome Week activities have been designed to support students who have come through the MAP entry routes to connect, grow and belong at Maynooth University and to create a positive experience of education and personal growth. MAP My Way is underpinned by the values of equity, equality and diversity, social inclusion and social justice.
