About us

The Irish Society was founded in the fall of 1980 by four people of Irish descent who wanted to preserve and promote Irish culture and Irish history. It is one of the oldest and most active student organizations on campus. Over the years, the society has taught young Irish Americans how to play Irish tunes on the fiddle, Irish dancing, the Gaelic language, and much more. The Irish Society’s mission is to promote the culture to young Irish-Americans and keep the heritage alive.
