A warm welcome to the new members amongst this group including David McKay, John Russell, Ben Frawley, Angelo Maiorana, Mike Palmer and Simon Terrell. The executive for 2025 is made of myself (President), Brian Shanahan (Secretary), Luca De Lorenzo (Treasurer) and Damian Tynan (Bursary) Please feel free to reach out to myself or any of the members if you have any questions, suggestions, stories or contributions for the committee. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank those members stepping down from the committee at the end of this year including Daniel Bolger (OR80) past President, Peter Solomon (OR87) past Secretary, Tim Warren (OR86), Justin Bull (OR88) and James Dickenson (OR85). Each of them have made a significant contribution to the OIU during their tenure, from running BBQs and Careers Days to supporting organisation of the Jesuit Bazaar and holding executive positions. 

The many activities of the Union could not be undertaken without the commitment and generosity of these men. Thank you on behalf of myself and all our members.
