Alumni Events 2021

AN EVENTFUL YEAR

In a most unusual year, the UCD Alumni Relations events programme engaged over 40,000 alumni and friends online …

EACH YEAR WE welcome thousands of our alumni back to campus, for reunions, Choral Scholars or Symphony Orchestra performances, spoken word events, Alumni Awards, the UCD Festival and at Chapter events around the world. For the past year, our events have been virtual ones, allowing us engage with more alumni. We were delighted to extend a virtual welcome back to campus and hope to maintain our virtual events programme alongside in-person events as soon as they can be conducted safely. We will keep you informed about our events as they happen. Make sure to update your details to ensure that you receive email updates and that you are not missing out on that special event!
