19th February 2010 – University College Cork today became the first 3rd level educational institution in the world to be accredited with the prestigious international ‘Green Flag’ award. The award, presented by Minister John Gormley, on behalf of An Taisce, to UCC President Dr. Michael Murphy, is a direct result of the Green-Campus programme, a student led initiative undertaken by UCC students and staff over the last 3 years.
The Green-Campus programme, operated in Ireland by An Taisce, has seen the University save €300,000 in waste management costs, reduce waste to landfill by nearly 400 tonnes and improve recycling from 21% to 60%. Furthermore, UCC has conserved almost enough water this year to fill the equivalent of the Lough of Cork (around 20,000,000 litres).

Photos from Secret Compass’s 2015 Burma expedition team, which ventured deep into Burmese Nagaland to climb Mount Saramati (3,826m), SE Asia’s most prominent peak. The team failed to summit due to a team mate injury earlier in the journey. Instead, the team experienced the traditions and culture of the Naga people and Burma’s first democratic elections since the dissolution of the military junta in 2011.
Craggy peaks, jungle whacking, river crossings, a warm welcome in every village and a Saramati Peak summit attempt are yours for the taking in 2016. This Burma expedition might be the just the adventurous and satisfying challenge you’ve been seeking.
