MARY Immaculate College (MIC) has officially been recognised as a University of Sanctuary.
As part of the wider City of Sanctuary movement, the Universities Sanctuary initiative recognises institutions that actively promote understanding of the refugee experience, embed inclusive practices across campus life, and share learning and good practice with the wider community.
As a University of Sanctuary, MIC will continue to advance initiatives that support equal access to higher education, including scholarship opportunities for students in the international protection process, and a range of programmes that promote inclusion, awareness, and community engagement.
The college has also developed dedicated supports and structures to embed sanctuary principles across teaching, research and campus life.
MIC join University of Limerick in achieving this status.
