ORLA MC MANAMLY
BA English and History 1984, MA 1986
lives in Bermuda and works at Hannover Re as a Pricing Actuary. Memories of UCD: If I could go back and do any part of my college time again it would be my final year UCD Volunteers Overseas (UCDVO) adventure in Nicaragua, a once-in-a-lifetime, unforgettable experience for which I will always be grateful. Love on Campus: After ten years, we turned the handshake at the meet and greet for Ad Astra into something more than “just friends”. The same degrees, the same graduate jobs, living on the same small remote island, working in the same office many years later. It turns out we had the same feelings for each other in common too.

SHAH FAHAD
Msc Sustainable Agriculture and Rural Development 2016
lives in Pakistan and works in Karachi as a horticulture manager. Memories of UCD: As an international student, I remember the great support from Irish students and a friendly environment cultivated by the teaching staff. My thesis supervisor Deirdre O’Connor was such a big help, especially when I lost my father. A number of field trips were astonishing and will be a lifetime memory. Love on Campus: I liked a girl named Katrina but never expressed my feelings. So I stayed single!

is from Sri Lanka but works at the Trauma Healing Institute, Philadelphia, USA as Children’s Master Facilitator, conducting trauma healing counselling sessions. Memories of UCD: One lecturer who taught us Accounting looked like Korean singer/rapper Psy so people referred to him as such and the nickname stuck. Now I can’t even recall his name. Love on Campus: I had a crush on a guy in my class but did not have the courage to tell him. He is still single, according to classmates!

MSc Management 2012
lives in Singapore and is a freelance digital research associate. Memories of UCD: My two years at UCD were hectic, meeting deadlines, attending lessons and doing exams. Classes were fun, especially lectures by overseas professors. As an adult learner, I had never felt so alive. Gearing up for exams was intense. Those two years, they felt short, but exuberant

Memories of UCD: Learning about the role of fairies and Irish mythology in Irish spirituality – I find myself thinking of it down here in rural Co. Cork!
