Abstract
Located in the heart of Cork city, University College Cork has been the comprehensive university of the south of Ireland since 1845. Today, UCC is a globally-oriented, research-led university with more than 22,000 students and more than 3,000 staff (Anon, 2021). It is the greenest university in Ireland, currently ranked 8th in the world and 1st in Ireland for its success in delivering on sustainability goals. Reaching into the community, both locally and globally, there are many educational, financial, developmental, medical, societal and cultural benefits to having a leading-edge, world-class university in the region. In the same way that UCC’s role in society and the community has developed over the past 176 years (Galvin et al., 2017), the University has also become engrained economically in Ireland and the Southwest.
