#ThinkLanguages on Campus
A successful element to this year9s celebrations was the continued involvement of higher education
institutions (HEIs) across the country. The activity within the HEIs proved to be a highlight for many, with a
diverse range of activities that TY students could engage in taking place on campus. More than 1,760
students visited a university campus, with many more gaining insights into third-level life through talks from
student language ambassadors, who visited more than 30 individual schools.
