Some excellent news from Trinity Monday and exciting celebrations for the School of Dental Science.

Huge Congratulations to our newly elected Scholars Sarah O’Connor and Zofia Bielicka on being awarded Foundation Scholarship this morning at Front Square’s announcement by the Provost. It is always an occasion of great anticipation and excitement.

Foundation Scholarship is a College institution with a long and prestigious history. Some of our greatest alumni – such as Edmund Burke, Samuel Beckett, and Mary Robinson – have been elected to Scholarship and it remains a distinctive feature of student life here at Trinity.

The Benefits of Foundation Scholarship
Scholars enjoy significant benefits, including Commons free of charge, rooms free of charge for up to nine months of the year and, where a student is not in receipt of outside scholarships or grants, fee remission for up to five years to the value of the EU fee level.

Also thank you to Prof Jeff O’Sullivan for coordinating the Scholarship examinations process.

Wednesday 17th September is Mouth Cancer Awareness Day.
Today marks the 17th annual Mouth Cancer Awareness Day, and we at DDUH are proud to stand alongside patients, clinicians, and advocates in recognising the progress made in supporting those affected by mouth, head and neck cancers (MHN).

Over the past seventeen years, the evolution of this patient group has been remarkable. DDUH, in collaboration with the MHN Cancer Awareness Ireland Group, has played a pivotal role in advancing awareness, education, and care pathways for MHNC patients.

One of our proudest achievements remains the successful incorporation of dental professionals and oral healthcare into the National Cancer Strategy 2016–2026—an essential step in ensuring holistic, multidisciplinary cancer care.

There is a head and neck cancer information stand in place at the DDUH foyer provided by our undergraduate dental hygiene students today Wednesday 17th September. We encourage staff and members of the public to visit the stand.

This evening, the Irish Dental Association (IDA) will host an online webinar featuring Professor Mike Lewis, Emeritus Professor of Oral Medicine and member of the Mouth Cancer Foundation.

His talk, “Mouth Cancer – Early Detection Saves Lives” will highlight the critical importance of timely diagnosis and intervention.

We encourage all dental professionals, students, and members of the public to engage with today’s events and continue to champion awareness. Together, we can make a lasting impact.
