DCU Alumni New York Event 2023

Celebrating St. Patrick's Day with our Alumni.

 

In March DCU President Prof. Dáire Keogh and colleagues welcomed graduates to reconnect, network and celebrate St Patrick’s Day in major cities of the US.

 

On 10th March, our graduates assembled at the Irish Consulate in San Francisco for an early morning breakfast and enjoyed a panel discussion featuring Niamh O’Donnell (Bachelor of Business Studies International), Trade Development Executive at Enterprise Ireland and 

John Boyce (Bachelor of Business Studies and MSc Finance and Capital Markets), Executive Director at JP Morgan. Both graduates provided an insight into life in the city and why their studies at DCU prepared them for a career abroad.

 

Our Washington D.C. based graduates attended a collaborative networking session with graduates from the ASU Thunderbird School of Global Management at the ASU Washington Centre. This was the first event of its kind with our graduates meeting graduates from our partners at ASU. 

 

The last event to celebrate St Patrick’s Day was on the morning of the 17th with almost 50 graduates attending a breakfast event at White and Williams offices in Time Square. Our panel discussion featured Sinéad Strain (BSc Computer Applications), Partner at Goldman Sachs - Head of Wealth Management Engineering and Operations, Bernard Brogan (Masters Business Management and Higher Diploma in Accountancy), Founder PepTalk and Rachel Horan (Communication Studies) Executive & Strengths Coach. During the discussion our graduates explained why they volunteer regularly for DCU and ensure to stay connected with their alma mater.

 

Throughout the alumni events it was amazing to meet so many engaged alumni with enormous affinity towards DCU. It was really interesting to note that at all three locations, some of our attendees were graduates who studied at DCU as part of Erasmus or exchange programmes. It was very special to hear how DCU had impacted their careers and how important our friendly campuses and staff were in helping the transition to studying in Ireland.
