DCU International Chapters keep the flag flying for St Patrick's Day

It was a busy week of St Patrick’s Celebrations again this year, with DCU Alumni Chapters in three US cities - San Francisco, Washington D.C. and New York - hosting events in the lead-up to St Patrick’s Day 2021, as well as a networking event for the inaugural Alumni Emerging Leaders Programme.

Each event was opened with our Master of Ceremonies, Leanne Hanafin (BA in Communication Studies, 2019), followed by a performance of Irish music, and an update from the President, Prof Daire Keogh, about DCU and our 2021 Sunday Times University of the Year.

This was followed by a panel discussion and a networking opportunity with graduates building the DCU network and digital transformation/hybrid working. The DCU & Arizona State University St. Patrick’s Celebration was led by graduates from the DCU Emerging Leaders Programme - Emily Carroll, Eoghan Rackard and Aoife Grady.

It also included a musical performance, an Irish language lesson by Paula Melvin, a networking opportunity with ASU graduates, a quiz hosted by Liam Kane of the DCU Alumni Office and an update on DCU/ASU partnership.
