Each year we welcome thousands of our alumni back to campus, for Mentoring events, Reunions, Choral Scholars or Symphony Orchestra performances, Spoken Word events, Alumni Awards and the UCD Festival, or simply to pay a nostalgic visit to relive those great memories of student days.
We are delighted to welcome you back and are always looking for ways of improving and evolving our event programme to make sure we have something for everybody.
We will keep you informed about our events as they happen. Make sure to update your details with us at the link below to ensure that you receive email updates and that you’re not missing out on that special event!
Teach na Gaeilge UCD - 20 Bliain ag Fás
Bhí comhluadar, craic agus siamsaíocht den scoth i gClub nua na hOllscoile nuair a d'fhill iar mhic léinn de chuid Theach na Gaeilge, scéim chónaithe UCD, ar champas Belfield, 18 Eanáir 2020. Tá 20 bliain ann ó bunaíodh Teach na Gaeilge agus ba dheis iontach é d’alumni an tí, cairdeas a athnuachan agus aithne a chur ar na mic léinn scoláireachta reatha. I measc na n-aoieanna a d’fhreastal, bhí alumni ó Thaigh na Gàidhlig, Ollscoil Ghlaschú, rud a léirigh an dlúth- chairdeas idir an dá scéim. D’eagraigh iar mhic léinn Theach na Gaeilge cluichí, amhránaíocht agus damhsa le linn na hócáide, rud a chinntigh go raibh oíche den scoth ag cách.
On Saturday 18 January 2020, Gaeltacht UCD Director Clár Ní Bhuachalla welcomed past and current Teach na Gaeilge UCD scholars (UCD’s Irish Language Student Residence Scheme) to the UCD University Club where they celebrated the 20th anniversary of this award -winning language initiative. Graduates from a range of UCD Colleges, travelled from every corner of Ireland, the UK, and mainland Europe to attend the event. The University of Glasgow, Scotland was represented by Taigh na Gàidhlig alumni as the friendships formed by the celtic cousins via the Colmcille/Bord na Gàidhlig cultural exchanges continue to flourish. Teach na Gaeilge UCD alumni organised the entertainment; games and a quiz followed by party pieces in both Irish & Scottish Gaelic. The interactive activities encouraged great communication between past and current students and a fun filled night was had by all.
