Each year we welcome thousands of our alumni back to campus, whether to attend one of our Golden or Ruby Jubilee reunions, one of our 'Characters in Conversation' events, 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.
Our 'Characters in Conversation' series has proved an enormous success and we are currently planning next year's series. The UCD Woodland Walks were launched this year to terrific success. UCD Choral Scholars entertain our alumni at events throughout the year.
We will keep you in touch with the events as they happen. Make sure to update your details with us to ensure you're receiving email updates and that you're not missing out on that special event!
