Owlcast #104 - College Edition with Catherine Papin from Griffith College, Ireland
Description
In this episode, we welcome Catherine Papin, Marketing Officer of the Global Engagement Office from Griffith College in Ireland, who joins us in discussing the unique advantages of studying at her university. Catherine shares insights on the college’s multicultural environment, its strong industry connections, and the benefits it offers students post-Brexit. As she explains, Ireland has become an attractive alternative for EU and non-EU students, providing a cost-effective education and post-study work opportunities that the UK no longer readily offers. Griffith College’s commitment to career-focused education and strong academic programs make it an ideal destination for those looking for both quality and affordability.
Catherine Papin also highlights the support systems Griffith has in place to help international students adapt to life abroad, from open-door policies within the International Office to the college’s welcoming campus culture. She shares stories that reflect Griffith’s dedication to personalized education, noting the legacy of its founder, Dermot Hegarty, whose vision has created a nurturing environment for students over the past 50 years. This episode provides valuable insights into how Griffith College supports students in shaping successful futures while fostering a sense of belonging and personal growth. Annie Angelides from the Center for Student Success of ACS Athens is also joining us in the studio today!
