Peter McCann
Hello City Campus! My name is Peter McCann, and I am running for the role of vice president of city campus for the academic year of 2023/2024. I am currently studying electronic engineering in Grangegorman and want to run to show more visibility to the engineering departments, as well as use what I have learned to better the experience at TU Dublin. That said, Bolton Street, Augier Street and Grangegorman all have problems that need to be addressed and with help from the students these can be resolved. Vote for me for a better City experience.
