Tá Ollscoil na Gaillimhe ar an bhfód ó 1845 agus institiúid is ea í ina leagtar an-bhéim ar thaighde. Tá sí rangaithe i measc an 2% is fearr d’ollscoileanna an domhain. Tá ceithre choláiste san Ollscoil, 18 scoil agus sé institiúid taighde, agus tá 3,000 comhalta foirne agus 20,000 mac léinn inti a tháinig as breis agus 120 tír ó cheann ceann na cruinne. Ollscoil dhátheangach atá inti, agus tá campais aici i gcúig chontae in iarthar na hÉireann - Dún na nGall, Sligeach, Maigh Eo, an Clár, agus an príomhchampas i nGaillimh. Tá sí rangaithe ar an ollscoil is fearr in Éirinn don fhorbairt inbhuanaithe i Ranguithe Domhanda Times Higher Education (THE) agus ní i mbarr feabhais sa teagasc agus san oideachas amháin atá tionchar á imirt againn; tá curtha romhainn againn an domhan a athrú chun feabhais.

Tá Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, a bhfuil cáil i bhfad is i ngearr uirthi as feabhas acadúil agus as an nuálaíocht, ag iarraidh teacht ar Uachtarán a léireoidh fís a threoróidh trí ré nua muid ina dtiocfaidh rath agus bláth orainn. Beidh an t-iarrthóir eiseamláireach an-tiomanta don Ollscoil, dá misean, dá cuid luachanna, agus dá cuid spriocanna, agus beidh na cáilíochtaí ceannaireachta ag an té sin atá riachtanach chun barr feabhais agus tionchar taighde agus oideachais a bhrú chun cinn, agus chun ár gclú náisiúnta agus domhanda a neartú. Ceannaire spreagúil a bheidh sa té sin, a bheidh in ann meas agus rannpháirtíocht a chothú i measc phobal na hollscoile trí chéile, comhaltaí foirne, mic léinn, alumni agus comhpháirtithe seachtracha san áireamh.

Tá Ollscoil na Gaillimhe tiomanta do chomhionannas deiseanna a chur chun cinn agus do thimpeallacht a chruthú agus a chothú a chuireann luach ar éagsúlacht ár bhfoirne agus ár mac léinn agus a dhéanann ceiliúradh orthu. Tá iarratais á lorg againn ar an ról seo ó dhaoine ó gach réimse den tsochaí, gach grúpa gannionadaíochta san áireamh, agus molaimid go láidir dóibh iarratas a dhéanamh air.
