They organise almost 3000 events each year (including guest speakers, classes, debates, film screenings, fundraisers, trips, parties, committee meetings and rehearsals) with which they enrich the social, community and cultural life of the campus with their presence. They bring colour and excitement to the University which enriches all of our lives. By organising events of educational, cultural, social and humanitarian value they broaden our perspectives and enhance the university experience for their fellow students while contributing to both the local community and the wider world. Our membership stands at 51709 of which 48810 are students. That represents 9378 unique memberships of which 8724 are students. NUI Galway Societies have won more BICS National Societies Awards than any other college in Ireland. The committee members volunteered 106,006 hours to society work. This is the equivalent of 110 full time workers on a 40 hour week during term time providing a valuable service to the University community, which in monetary value at minimum wage would cost a million euro. To fully appreciate Societies contribution to the University and to put this in context, societies provide the equivalent of 110 full time workers during term-time providing social, cultural and educational support to the university community with a budget of €448,572 which they have raise themselves, equalling a total monetary value of almost 1.5 million euro. In this report in addition to statistics you will see in the societies own words what they achieved this year. The continuing support of the university with infrastructure and space is vital to supporting our students to utelise the opportunity they have for learning through their involvement in societies which encourages them and to fully realise their potential as active citizens.

A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of titans. Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a titan in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a colossal titan that appears out of thin air.

Through his devil-may-care classmate, Kaoru learns the attractions of jazz and finds the first person he can call a "friend". He also discovers how much fun it is to play music with a pal. Other characters include Sentaro's kind childhood chum, Ritsuko, who is the daughter of a record shop owner; the mysterious upperclassman, Yurika; and Brother Jun, the much-admired leader among their peers. Set against the backdrop of a seaside town with a scent of American culture, this series is a drama about young people coming into their own, crossing each other's paths, and finding friendship, love, and music!
