Welcome to CSC!

The Central Societies Committee (CSC) is the body responsible for student societies in Trinity College.

Who's Who in College

The CSC is your representative body, and College sees it as such. If you are experiencing problems with security, housekeeping, the Junior Dean, etc. please come to the CSC first, and we can act as your mouthpiece.

The following is a list of people you should know about...

Provost:
Professor Patrick Prendergast

The Provost is the Head of Trinity College Dublin and is the equivalent of the President, Rector, or Vice-Chancellor in other universities. The present incumbent, Dr Patrick Prendergast, took office in August 2011 and is the 44th Provost to be appointed since the foundation of the College by Queen Elizabeth I in 1592.

Senior Dean:
Professor Moray McGowan

Professor Moray McGowan is the Senior Dean and is responsible for enquiring into alleged breaches of the College Disciplinary Code by members of the academic staff and for taking further action in accordance with College regulations and statutes.  The Senior Dean is also responsible for allocating rooms for academic members of staff. He chairs the Capitation Committee which apportions the capitation fund to the Capitated Bodies inter alia. Professor McGowan holds the Chair of German (1776) at Trinity College. 

Junior Dean:
Dr Tim Trimble

A society needs to apply to Dr Trimble for permission to hold receptions. This is done through the Enquiries Office.

Safety Officer:
Mr. Tom Merriman

Health and Safety is an important issue at the moment. The CSC is in the happy position of having a fair amount of space for society use, but it is important that we keep it. To do this, we need to ensure that Mr Merriman has no cause for complaint - i.e. rooms must be kept relatively tidy - no paper or boxes lying around; there must be no smoking in rooms; and cups, etc. must be washed up.

Arts Building Superintendent:
Mr Norman Richardson.

Mr Richardson is responsible for procuring all equipment you might need for a meeting - overhead projectorss, video machines, slide projectors, etc. His office is in the Arts Building, past the security desk and on the right.

Chief Steward:
Mr. Pat Morey.

Mr Morey must be contacted if you have a very high-profile speaker or politician attending a meeting. He will liaise with the Guards about security, etc.

Enquiries Office:
Mary McGetrick and Liz McWilliams

Liz and Mary know everything! Aside from that, they will book rooms for you. You’ll find them up the Exam Hall steps and through the glass door to your right.
