Message from President Michael D. Higgins to Third-Level Students

I saw this yesterday and thought I’d share it here, partly because it contains lots of thoughtful comments* for students – especially first-year students – currently in third-level education, and partly because it is a reminder that it is possible for the President of a country to be an intelligent, kind and empathic person…

*I’m proud to say that many of his comments echo those I used to make at induction events for new students long before the Covid-10 pandemic!
