I'm Professor Philip Nolan. I'm President of Maynooth University.

People who look at Maynooth from the outside, the thing that immediately strikes them is

just how dynamic the institution is, how innovative, this very strong sense of momentum, very strong

sense of rapid growth and very strong sense that we're making a real contribution

to our region, to our country and are having a significant impact globally.

My name is Conor Simpson and I'm Mid East Regional Manager for IDA Ireland.

When you look at the skill sets within the university

and you look at the research capability that's there,

we often say that Maynooth University is one of the best kept secrets of the region.

I'm Baroness Nuala O'Loan and I'm the Chair of the Governing Authority.

I think Maynooth University seeks to develop in the student

the capacities, the skills, the experience, the confidence, which will

equip them to go out into the world and to contribute to society, in a way that I don't think other universities do.

Many students come to university not knowing what it is they are going to do with the rest of their life.

The Maynooth experience, between the undergraduate and post graduate experience,

is designed to enable them to develop a determination

that this is where they actually want to work and this is what they actually want to do.

My name is Rachel Rolfe and I am doing a BA in Media Technology.

I choose Maynooth to be able to mix and match different subjects. When I initially came

into first year, a lot of my computer science lecturers thought I was crazy because I took computer science,

I was doing Chinese and I was doing anthropology in first year and they were like "how do they even relate?"

Students have the capacity to range across different disciplines and different subjects,

assembling their own portfolio of learning

and their own set of skills, making them unique as graduates when they emerge from the institution.

The bedrock for us is world class research and bringing together in this campuS

some of the best researchers in Ireland and in Europe to focus on really important problems.

We hope that the research carried out in this lab will have a significant impact on the

lives of patients who are suffering from chronic inflammatory disorders

in reducing their level of pain and increasing their quality of life.

My work on observations of climate change really are foundational

to everything about climate change science.

Without observing, we can't know what has happened.

Without knowing what's happened, it's impossible to predict what may happen in the future.

It's one thing to have a lot of technology advancement but we must do this in parallel

with society, with communities with the rest of the world. We can't do it in isolation.

Our research is focused on problems that face modern society, but we bring very different

perspectives and very different disciplines to bear on those research problems.

One of the key strengths of many of our projects is that they are what we call engaged research.

So, they are not just about producing data, and academic papers etc, they are also about

shaping the policy agenda, rather than pure applied research for it's own sake.

My name is Rose Ryan, I'm the Director of Access at the Maynooth University Access Programme.

The Maynooth University Access Programme reaches out into communities that have traditionally

had less of a likelihood of progressing to higher education and we work with those groups,

their families, their communities, in partnership to try to support them into higher education

but also helping them once they're here, to settle in,

connect to the university and connect to the campus.

My name is Leon Diop, I am 23 years of age,

I'm from Tallaght and I'm about to graduate in Psychology.

For people like myself, it was tougher getting into 3rd level education than most.

If I didn't have the supports provided, I definitely would have left college a long time ago.

The ideas of the future emerge in dialogue between people from different perspectives

and different cultures. And, for that reason, we enrich the campus here and we strengthen it

by being diverse in the students that we recruit, diverse in the staff that we appoint

and a really important part of that is to be international.

My name is Siddhartha Roy and I am from Kolkata in India,

and I am currently doing my post-graduate masters in International Business Law from Maynooth University.

The cultural and the global experience that I have gained by coming here to Maynooth

and mixing with people from all over the world,

I've been able to learn a lot and gain various new perspectives across different avenues in life.

It's a very active campus, with a variety of clubs and societies

and it's a wonderful opportunity to meet other people and talk to them.

My experiences overall that I achieved from the university will be something

that I will carry along with me for the rest of my life.

Our alumni, we're so proud of where they've found themselves.

We have alumni who are ambassadors, we have alumni who are social innovators,

we have alumni leading major finance houses. So, the diversity of destinations

for our alumni is their striking feature and the fundamental skills that they learnt at

university, how they are applying those in their careers is really quite striking for us

and something we are very proud of.

I'm Marie O'Donoghue and I work in PwC

in the people and consulting advisory practice.

It's not necessarily a traditional path to move from a BA in English and Geography into management consulting,

but I felt that the range and breath of subjects which I had access to and exposure to

is definitely something that has led me into this as a career.

(Europe's Rosetta cometary probe is today)

(travelling into deep space in its quest to discover the origins of life.)

My name is Laurence O'Rourke, I work in the European Space Agency

as a Rosetta science operations manager.

Maynooth built on the interest I had in science and made me who I am today.

In reality, it's created a foundation which was extraordinary in nature

and which I continue to rely on in my day to day life.

Out of the city, a place dedicated to learning, it's impossible to come to this place

and not be inspired. Whatever you are doing on the campus, it's simply an inspirational place to work

because of the interest and the enthusiasm of the people

and the environment in which we're lucky enough to work.

Eng CC) VLOG : 대학생 일상 브이로그. 안녕 2018, 안녕 2019. University Student Daily. Bye 2018, Hi 2019 - Duration: 15:15.

I bought pajamas, this is

super soft

Really soft~~

(How to make Tteokguk)

(Put mom made stock in another pot)

(Of course, it already has to be done seasoning)

(Put rice cake in the pot as much as you want)

(If you already feel hungry, eat a dried persimmon)

(If you don't have this in your home, you can replace a sweet potato mallet)

M - Hey, you are wasting the heat

M - You had to use other small burner

M - Why you always don't match the size of burner?

I just wanted to eat more hurry

M - You can't eat more hurry even you use there

No, it can be more hurry (Soom is sad)

(Eventually I moved it to small burner)

(If the rice cake is soft, then put in to a bowl)

(And also put spring onion that mom prepared,)

(seaweed that you have,)

(plus, my mom's made meat)

Oh I will put all meat

M - No, your brother will eat later

(We have to leave very very little meat for brother)

Finish! (Wow, it was really hard)

(I felt heavy when I lift coffee cup)

(I have to exercise next year for sure!)

Hi

(Today also shying)

Today is Friday, 28th, December

I thought I won't buy diary for next year

Because I always..

didn't write diary from every March

I did like that 2018

and also 2017

But yeah, I bought it again

(I believed me again)

I had some event that I didn't expected

So I think

I will need memo note

And I will write it for sure

for sure!!

So I got this

Did you plan your next year goal?

I didn't do it yet

But I have some things I already thought

So, now

So I will make a note now

First, I will write it on my phone

and I will write again in my diary later

when I organize all

Next year...

2019

My Goal

and...

and To Do list

My first goal of 2019 is..

Something that I couldn't achieve in 2018.. (Too many)

What should I do?

Actually I..

I planned getting drive license

on this winter vacation

But I have to delay it because I have no time for it

Oh! I will write the goals that I really really can fulfill

So... put body wash..

No! Put body lotion,

hand..

hand cream,

and lip balm

everyday

and also when I feel

my skin dry

I usually really didn't put these things

So when winter is coming

I can see blood on my skin

because my skin is super dry

and my lips also

My legs and hands also

But I couldn't apply it because I'm lazy

So this is my first goal

Second is..

eat more healthy food

This is very important part

I really like instant foods

So I eat it a lot

Yeah, I also eat home made food

But when I stay home alone,

I become more lazy, so I eat instant ramen

I frequently eat hamburger because I like it

and also french fries that I love

So I want to reduce eating these food

And I will try to eat more healthier Korean foods

If I still eat many instant food when I live alone,

maybe..

you can see

my hospital VLOG

So, it is my second goal

Write every,,

Write dairy everyday

No no, not everyday

Every week

Write every week

I think I will never keep that goal

If I want to write dairy everyday

I know me

I never have the writing habit

So I will write it 'every week' next year

And next.. Think one more time

before when I buy something

Think more before buy something

This is not 'don't buy something' and it just think more

'Is it really I need?'

'If I don't buy it, will I die?'

'Is it daily necessity thing?' or 'Is it really important to me?'

I will think like that again

But I don't tell I will not buy

It is too tough and hard

that tell me 'do not buy anymore!'

I think I have to buy something

(Just my inner mind told it)

Yep, I can buy, but think one more

(I just want to move next goal)

Do not use swear words

I think when we get older more and more, we have to use good words

And it also seems more cool

Um.. it is not specially cool thing

Yeah everyone has to not use swear words

I had many angry events this 2018.. so.. I used..

bad words..

But I will not use it next year

I will try to use good words

and also positive things.. ah!

Think more positively

I will think positive

and not use bad words

Also, I will try be happy

I think this two things is super important to me

My friend told me

If I use bad words, not only other people can heard it

and also I can heard it even I used it

So it is not good for me

I didn't know well what mean is

Now, I can understand it

I thought about that more

So, let's don't use it together!

Yeah, this is all thing now I thinking

I think the goal can change everyday and can add something whenever I want

So, this is all now

It is just 6 things, and I really can keep these if I try little

So I will keep this and try to live in happy this 2019!

Hot Water Immersion Study with Victoria University - 42 degrees is warmer than a hot bath - Duration: 6:59.

so tell me turns what are they hoping to achieve with the study so we're hoping

the hot water version immediately after exercise can help improve performance

because the hot water diversion can help keep the stress elevator on the body and

then hopefully with extra stress on the body we can create more adaptation of

the body after exercise without having to actually have to pedal right so right

now we can see that you're about to give me a countdown tell me what's going to

happen once you do their countdown now I start a 5-minute interval my lactate

threshold which is at the point where I've been in to accumulate lactate a lot

higher and about five minutes and it's controlled by the peloton bike and it's

the wattage and I just have the key and then you're rolling and through this

what's going through your head let's go to bed is not much actually not

much is going through there because all I have to do is really pedal and I don't

have to concentrate on too much because it's all controlled by the bellows on

the bike and lots of you guys Henley okay what else have you learned about

yourself during the study so far so I've learned about Malik official with the

point where I begin to stimulate more than three millimoles of lactate in the

blood and also alert my V 2 max as you did do a future excess and around a

three point for Lily's for doing it a minute and that's the same almost at the

same level as Chris prune very unbelievable numbers I was very happy to

sort of see how how well my body can go yeah and right now I've got a bit of a

slow motion here just to see the muscles in action as you're doing that you're

you're concentrating on the study and you're thinking about the next phase of

the test how's it been throughout the whole

course of this study so we do it the testing as all as well as a muscle

biopsy with a take a small piece of muscle in my thigh

muscle that doesn't look like too painful at all and then we do the two

training sessions so the two training tests and then a three week training

program I'll do five mat interval the first week is for stick of it is 536 and

after that we do the tests again and that also must have our C to C does any

sort of difference in the muscle or it's bigger than e performance benefit and

the room we run here tell me a little bit about this room because it looks

pretty impressive yeah this is a and environmental chamber so and what it is

is that it's blocked off from the outside world you can't come and give

and get a food phone signal and what it is is that it's controlled by the study

person and so he can control the room for temperature the air pressure

radiation humidity and also altitude and it's a complete Faraday cage I mean we

couldn't even get as you say we couldn't even get a phone signal and to see and

to go through different look of different things on the Internet

camping towards the end of your repetitions here we've just about done

for the day how much do you get through a lot of

water while you're rolling and doing this exercise ah I guess I guess

sometimes I do I mean you're on me but when you in the end of environments to

kind of do a lot more I feel like you do a lot more because it's no mean air

moving around yes what's why we need the fan and does it does feel pretty hot but

it of course in the chamber it's a custom 20 degrees so it's actually quite

comfortable to the room okay now these bikes tell me a bit about these bikes

say they're called the velodrome bike and what it is is that it's just it's

connected to a computer and then the computers set I'm like a wattage amount

and then the beltron bike just holds that wash and you only have to do is

just keep pedaling and maintain that at the gear so where are we off to now

so now we're leaving the the Toronto chamber and we're heading into the hot

water bath too didn't air for 30 minutes this is

actually the real part of the study

ah

have one

and if it's actually coal which is running the tub is

full of luck light side my car my Basquiat anything like

what's the temperature to be on smarter than me

Oh looky vain

back

so tell me - no they actually after more people for the fist thing and for the

study at the moment I guess they are they're looking for more participants it

can be hazel to discipline to an age anyone really is willing to be able to

take some time out and of course he's 24/7 so anyone can be able to do at

anytime and who to the contact for that just contact us and then we can put your

contact there excellent well thank you everyone for watching this presentation

University Challenge - Christmas 2018 E07 The University of Edinburgh v London School of Economics - Duration: 28:39.

Christmas University Challenge.

APPLAUSE

Asking the questions, Jeremy Paxman.

Hello. Tonight, it's the last of the first-round matches

in this seasonal competition

for people whose student days are behind them,

in some cases, really rather far behind them,

but who are still prepared to compete for the honour

of the institution that honed their intellects.

We already know that the University of Bristol, King's College London

and Peterhouse - Cambridge are through to the semifinal stage.

If tonight's winners can score 135 or more,

they'll definitely go through, too.

Now, the first player for the team from Edinburgh University

sustained injuries in a bomb blast,

after which he competed in the inaugural Invictus Games in 2014.

He now reports on those games,

as well as the Commonwealth Games and the London Marathon.

she was ranked by the Legal 500 directory

as one of Scotland's leading QCs.

Their captain is an actor, composer,

stand-up comedian and author of science fiction,

who for over 15 years was the resident songwriter on Radio 4's The Now Show.

who has acted as a specialist adviser

to the Commons Treasury committee and central banks around the world.

With him, a prolific and award-winning writer

who's contributed to virtually every heavyweight British journal and newspaper.

She's interviewed 14 Nobel laureates and hundreds of cultural figures,

from Umberto Eco to Oprah Winfrey.

She's been a judge for numerous literary awards,

as well as being a frequent broadcaster on television and radio.

Their captain is a broadcaster and critic

whose writing has been nominated for an Orwell Prize.

He's in an unrivalled position to stimulate cultural debate

in the UK, as the chair of the committee that decides

what artwork goes on Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth.

Their fourth player is the prolific author

of a diverse canon of non-fiction,

including The End Of Innocence, a study of AIDS in Britain,

for which he won the Somerset Maugham Prize.

This is their captain.

I'm Ekow Eshun, I graduated with a degree in Government and History,

Lee University // The Second Century - Duration: 2:01.

By now everyone here has heard how Lee University began. You've heard

that a woman named Nora chambers was asked to lead a class to teach young people

how to study the Bible. 100 years later, not a half-dozen students in a makeshift

classroom, but a thriving vibrant University with thousands of students

and hundreds of faculty and staff on a complex and modern campus.

We don't know what the future will bring, of course. We can't even imagine it but we have a

slogan here "Expect Something Great!" Can we agree this morning that what has been

built here brick by brick, inch by inch, prayer by prayer, dream by dream, has been

worth every dollar and every sacrifice and that what has happened here on this

campus has been the sovereign work of God and it has just begun.

So with gratitude to Almighty God for every blessing of the past and with an urgent

supplication for every need of the future, we charge into Lee's second

century with confidence and optimism that He who began a good work in us will

be faithful to complete it. We go forth from this place as the

daughters and sons of a vibrant history we have a great birthright and by God's

grace we will not squander it. We have a song to sing so let's sing it. We have a

bell to ring so let's ring it. We have a job to do so let's do it. We have a story

to tell so let's tell it in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy

Ghost. Amen!

Ellen DeGeneres' 2009 Commencement Speech at Tulane University - Duration: 9:36.

Ellen DeGeneres - Comedian

Thank you, President Cowan, Mrs. President Cowen; distinguished guests, undistinguished

guests, you know who you are, honored faculty and creepy Spanish teacher.

And thank you to all the graduating Class of 2009, I realize most of you are hungover

and have splitting headaches and haven't slept since Fat Tuesday, but you can't graduate

until I finish, so listen up.

When I was asked to make the commencement speech, I immediately said yes.

Then I went to look up what commencement meant which would have been easy if I had a dictionary,

but most of the books in our house are Portiaís, and they're all written in Australian.

So I had to break the word down myself, to find out the meaning.

Commencement: common, and cement, common cement.

You commonly see cement on sidewalks.

Sidewalks have cracks, and if you step on a crack, you break your mother's back.

So there's that.

But I'm honored that you've asked me here to speak at your common cement.

I thought that you had to be a famous alumnus, alumini, aluminum, alumis; you had to graduate

from this school.

And I didn't go to college here, and I don't know if President Cowan knows, I didn't go

to any college at all, any college.

And I'm not saying you wasted your time, or money, but look at me, I'm a huge celebrity.

Although I did graduate from the school of hard knocks, our mascot was the knockers.

I spent a lot of time here growing up.

My mom worked at Newcomb and I would go there every time I needed to steal something out

of her purse.

But why am I here today?

Clearly not to steal, you're too far away and I'd never get away with it.

I'm here because of you.

Because I can't think of a more tenacious, more courageous graduating class.

I mean, look at you all, wearing your robes.

Usually when you're wearing a robe at 10 in the morning, it means you've given up.

I'm here because I love New Orleans.

I was born and raised here, I spent my formative years here, and like you, while I was living

here I only did laundry six times.

When I finished school, I was completely lost and by school, I mean middle school, but I

went ahead and finished high school anyway.

And I really, I had no ambition; I didn't know what I wanted to do.

I did everything from: I shucked oysters, I was a hostess, I was a bartender, I was

a waitress, I painted houses, I sold vacuum cleaners; I had no idea and I thought I'd

just finally settle in some job and I would make enough money to pay my rent, maybe have

basic cable, maybe not, I didn't really have a plan.

My point is that, by the time I was your age, I really thought I knew who I was but I had

no idea.

Like for example, when I was your age, I was dating men.

So what I'm saying is, when you're older, most of you will be gay.

Is anybody writing this stuff down?

Parents?

Anyway, I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and the way I ended up on this

path was from a very tragic event.

I was maybe 19, and my girlfriend at the time was killed in a car accident.

And I passed the accident, and I didn't know it was her and I kept going and I found out

shortly after that, it was her.

And I was living in a basement apartment; I had no money; I had no heat, no air, I had

a mattress on the floor and the apartment was infested with fleas.

And I was soul-searching, I was like, why is she suddenly gone, and there are fleas

here?

I don't understand, there must be a purpose and wouldn't it be so convenient if we could

pick up the phone and call God and ask these questions.

And I started writing and what poured out of me was an imaginary conversation with God,

which was one-sided and I finished writing it and I looked at it and I said to myself,

and I hadn't even been doing stand-up, ever, there was no club in town.

I said, I'm going do this on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson; at the time he was

the king and I'm going be the first woman in the history of the show to be called over

to sit down and several years later, I was the first woman in the history of the

show, and only woman in the history of the show to sit down, because of that phone conversation

with God that I wrote.

And I started this path of stand-up and it was successful and it was great but it was

hard because I was trying to please everybody and I had this secret that I was keeping,

that I was gay.

And I thought if people found out they wouldn't like me, they wouldn't laugh at me.

Then my career turned into, I got my own sitcom, and that was very successful, another level

of success.

And I thought, what if they find out I'm gay, then they'll never watch, and this was

a long time ago, this was when we just had white presidents.

But anyway, this was back many years ago.

And I finally decided that I was living with so much shame, and so much fear, that I just

couldn't live that way anymore and I decided to come out and make it creative.

And my character would come out at the same time, and it wasn't to make a political statement,

it wasn't to do anything other than to free myself up from this heaviness that I was carrying

around, and I just wanted to be honest.

And I thought, What's the worst that could happen?

I can lose my career.

I did.

I lost my career.

The show was cancelled after six years without even telling me; I read it in the paper.

The phone didn't ring for three years.

I had no offers.

Nobody wanted to touch me at all.

Yet, I was getting letters from kids that almost committed suicide, but didn't because

of what I did.

And I realized that I had a purpose.

And it wasn't just about me and it wasn't about celebrity, but I felt like I was being

punished and it was a bad time, I was angry, I was sad, and then I was offered a talk show.

And the people that offered me the talk show tried to sell it.

And most stations didn't want to pick it up.

Most people didn't want to buy it because they thought nobody would watch me.

Really when I look back on it, I wouldn't change a thing.

I mean, it was so important for me to lose everything because I found out what the most

important thing is, is to be true to yourself.

Ultimately, that's what's gotten me to this place.

I don't live in fear, I'm free; I have no secrets and I know I'll always be OK, because

no matter what, I know who I am.

So In conclusion, when I was younger I thought success was something different.

I thought when I grow up, I want to be famous.

I want to be a star.

I want to be in movies.

When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars, I want to have groupies.

To quote the Pussycat Dolls.

How many people thought it was boobies, by the way?

It's not, it's groupies.

But my idea of success is different today.

And as you grow, you'll realize the definition of success changes.

For many of you, today, success is being able to hold down 20 shots of tequila.

For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not

to give into peer pressure to try to be something that you're not, to live your life as an

honest and compassionate person, to contribute in some way.

So to conclude my conclusion, follow your passion, stay true to yourself.

Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see

a path and by all means you should follow that.

Don't give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass.

Don't take anyone's advice.

So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.

And I know that a lot of you are concerned about your future, but there's no need to

worry.

The economy is booming, the job market is wide open, the planet is just fine.

It's going be great.

You've already survived a hurricane.

What else can happen to you?

And as I mentioned before, some of the most devastating things that happen to you will

teach you the most.

And now you know the right questions to ask in your first job interview.

Like, is it above sea level?

So to conclude my conclusion that I've previously concluded, in the common cement speech, I

guess what I'm trying to say is life is like one big Mardi Gras.

But instead of showing your boobs, show people your brain, and if they like what they see,

you'll have more beads than you know what to do with and you'll be drunk, most of the

time.

So the Katrina class of 2009, I say congratulations and if you don't remember a thing I said

today, remember this, you're going to be OK, dum de dumdumdum, just dance.

John Newcomer | Newman University 2018 Graduate - Duration: 1:24.

You know, it was a very demanding program. It required

one hundred percent of your time and effort, and

I think that if you give that to the program, it gives it back to you.

So I was very happy with the amount of effort it demanded,

and the amount of ability it gave me.

Next for me, I'm going to take a position as a staff anesthetist

out in Garden City, Kansas. I'm

going to start there, and slowly I'm going to build an

anesthesia firm from there. So my goal is to

expand to a multi-site specialty

anesthesia practice from there. I thought it was a very

good program. I know that it's going to prepare me to

provide anesthesia care in rural communities, and

also I'm an officer in the United States Air Force, so I know that

I could be out the door any time, and I'll be out

overseas taking care of our troops, too.

I feel that it's got me ready to do both of those things.

I was a registered nurse for many years,

right before I started the anesthesia program, I commissioned into the Air

Force, and so that was a rather new, both

of those things started at about the same time.

So I'll, both of those are

newer to me and so yeah, they're exciting.

Well, I want to serve with good people and that's where good people

are, so that's where I'm going to go.

Daniella Buedden | Newman University 2018 Graduate - Duration: 1:23.

It's exciting and it means a new start as I go on to grad school, and the

end of one chapter of being an undergrad and moving on to the next. I'm going to

OU Tulsa's Master in Social Work program. Social Work is actually one

I've wanted to do from the beginning. I've always wanted to be in an area

where I could help people and I really found my calling through shadowing and

turning different social workers I decided that's where I want to go. And so

I went into undergrad knowing that and now I'm ready to take on my masters.

I think every school has its good and bad, its ups and downs, but I really

appreciated Newman for all the opportunities I got especially with

leadership roles and being engaged in so many different things I think sometimes

in a bigger University I would have gotten kind of lost in the shuffle. So I

really appreciated that and then just how personable people we're all the time,

getting to know professors and administrators, and everyone from every department I

really love that and I don't think I would have gotten that elsewhere.

Sociology and psychology. I'm a double major so two degrees. Yeah, it was a lot

of work, but it was good. They overlapped quite a bit, so that was

nice that they're in the same area. I do, I feel very prepared I'm I'm ready to go.
