St Mary’s University College recently welcomed colleagues to a Research Dissemination Seminar focused on Mathematics Teacher Recruitment and Retention in Northern Ireland. The event was attended by Professor Peter Finn, Principal, alongside Angela Kane, Acting Director of Teacher Development, reflecting the Department’s strong engagement with this important area of provision.

St Mary’s and international partners continue to support Gazan teachers through blended training programmes, strengthening professional skills, collaboration, and educational resilience.

Dr Maura Mast, Professor of Mathematics and former Dean at Fordham University, visited St Mary’s University College as part of her research into international Catholic higher education, focusing on how Catholic institutions collaborate, sustain mission and identity, and respond to contemporary challenges as agents of hope, justice, dialogue, and reconciliation.
