Dundalk Institute of Technology (DkIT) is delighted to welcome its new Students’ Union (SU) Team for the academic year 2025-2026. The team officially took office on 1st July and is made up of three full-time officers: returning members Gerry O’Brien and Tobi Bewaji, and newcomer Rosheen Hornby.
This year, Gerry O’Brien steps into the role of SU President, having previously served as Vice President for Student Engagement. Tobi Bewaji, who formerly held the role of VP for Welfare and Equality, now takes over as Vice President for Student Engagement. Rosheen Hornby joins the team as the new Vice President for Welfare and Equality.
In addition to the three full-time members of the SU team, six part-time officers will be elected in October to represent DkIT’s student body, filling roles such as Academic Officer, International Officer, and Mature Student Officer.
Newly elected DkIT SU President, Gerry O’Brien is a Sport, Exercise and Enterprise student from Dundalk who came back to DkIT as a mature student following a career in construction. Gerry’s motivation to run for the Students Union came from support he had previously received from the college and the SU, and his desire to give that back to other students. Gerry decided to run for President to continue the work he started last year and continue the positive impact he has had on the student body. A key achievement during his previous term was the launch of a new student social space on campus, offering students a vibrant and welcoming place to connect.
