From University of Limerick to Google for one lucky student
A UNIVERSITY of Limerick (UL) student is set to receive a Google scholarship which helps students pursue computer science degrees.
Róisín Mitchell, a second-year Bachelor of Science in Computer Systems student in the Department of Computer Science and Information Systems (CSIS) at UL, is one of 12 undergraduate students in Ireland receiving the scholarship from Google this year.
The scholarship aims to enhance gender equality within the field of computer science and related fields in Ireland and inspire women to serve as influential figures in the industry.
Róisín, who is from Stradbally in Laois is determined to capitalise on the experiences that will come with the scholarship saying;
“I’m really looking forward to continuing my learning and getting the chance to gain practical experience from companies that are leaders in the technology sector.”
