History

The institute opened in 1970 as a Regional Technical College, and adopted the name 'Institute of Technology, Sligo' on 7 May 1997.[5] The first students graduated with degrees from Sligo RTC in 1986.[6]

Con Power served as principal of the college from its foundation in 1972 until 1979.[citation needed] Prof. Terri Scott was the institute's first female president, serving from 2008 until 2014.[7] She was succeeded by Prof. Vincent Cunnane in October 2014. Dr. Brendan McCormack was appointed president of the institute in September 2016.[8]

Development

IT Sligo's "Main Concourse"

IT Sligo developed a number of distance learning options, and as of 2016 reportedly had 1,800 online learners registered on various online programmes.[1] This subsequently increased to approximately 3000 online learners.[9][not specific enough to verify]

In sports, the college has both ladies' soccer and men's Gaelic football teams, the latter winning the Sigerson Cup three times during the six years up to 2005.[citation needed]

In technology, IT Sligo's "Team Hermes" won the software design category of the 2011 Microsoft Imagine Cup (a world student technology competition, held in 2011 in New York).[10]

Atlantic Technological University

Main article: Atlantic Technological University

As of October 2018, Sligo IT was reportedly working with GMIT and Letterkenny IT to potentially form a Technological University for the West/North-West of Ireland.[11] In October 2020, the constituent IT's were allocated over €5.5 million towards transformation.[12]

Formal approval was granted in October 2021.[13] Atlantic TU began formal operations in April 2022.[2]
