Maynooth University has unveiled an ‘Elephant in the Room’ (EIR) sculpture at the heart of its campus, underlining its commitment to supporting mental health and wellbeing and promoting a campus culture that is inclusive, safe and positive. The new sculpture was unveiled on Wednesday, 27 November by MU President Prof Eeva Leinonen, EIR founder Dave Southern and Helen Doyle, a PhD scholar in the Department of History, who first proposed having the sculpture at MU. It will be displayed in a prominent position -- the TSI Foyer on the North Campus.
