St Patrick’s Carlow College has been awarded the Athena SWAN Bronze Award – an accolade that recognises the advancement of gender equality in higher education.
It follows a self-assessment submission from the local third level institute which included a four-year action plan for enacting positive culture change.
Chair of the Self-Assessment Team Fiona McGuill says this is a huge achievement for all involved:
