DCU recognises eight former students with Alumni Awards
Dublin City University today (Friday 17 January) presented 2024 Alumni Awards to outstanding alumni.
The DCU Alumni Awards honour alumni who, through their exceptional ability and leadership, have achieved excellence in their chosen fields of endeavour.
The 2024 Alumni Award recipients represent all five faculties of study at DCU (Business School, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Institute of Education, Faculty of Science and Health and Faculty of Engineering and Computing).
The achievements of these eight exceptional graduates were celebrated at a special ceremony in The Helix on DCU’s Glasnevin campus.
DCU President Prof Dáire Keogh told the awardees:
You may come from diverse fields and backgrounds but what you have in common are some key traits. You are leaders, doers, innovators and change-makers. What you share is a track record of putting the DCU values and mission into action, transforming lives and societies.
Ross Munnelly, Director of Alumni Relations at DCU, said:
Our alumni represent the strong values and high expectations of the university. Each awardee through their own contribution helps to make the world and society a better place for us all. We have seen this through their achievements to date, they are proven leaders and who continue to inspire the next generation of graduates at DCU. We look forward to welcoming them back to campus regularly and wish them even more success in the future.
