2019 Business Alumni Awards Dinner - Friday, April 5th 2019

For over 100 years, the UCD College of Business, with a global alumni community of over 95,000 graduates, has educated leaders that have shaped the practice of business and society around the world. Since 1991, the school has celebrated and recognised the achievements and successes of our graduates through the 'Alumni of the Year' awards. The annual Business Alumni Awards Dinner is one of the highlights of our annual events programme, at which we endeavour to honour driven, committed and successful alumni who have contributed to the business community of Ireland and globally. Each year over 450 guests join us in the prestigious InterContinental Hotel, Dublin for a special black tie fundraising dinner to publicly recognise our 'Alumni of the Year' and ‘Student of the Year’ award winners.

About the Awards

We celebrate several awards at this event as we acknowledge the people who have helped us become Ireland’s leading business school. We rely on the generous support of our boards, donors and alumni to help us cement our position at the forefront of business education in Ireland and internationally. Primarily this will involve recruiting more world-class faculty but also providing the facilities required by our top-class students.

The ‘Alumni of the Year’ award is the highest honour that the UCD School of Business can bestow on a graduate. The awards commenced in 1991 and are presented to individuals demonstrating the ultimate in professional achievement in their chosen business arena.

The Outstanding Alumni Awards honour graduates of the under- and postgraduate programmes offered by the UCD School of Business. Recipients must demonstrate proven leadership skills, notable achievement in business and a significant contribution to the community, whether in Ireland or abroad. In celebration of our centenary year in 2009, we announced our inaugural UCD Lochlann Quinn School of Business Alumnus of the Year.

Our goal is to support and encourage excellence amongst the business and alumni community.

This event provides a unique opportunity for your company to be directly affiliated with Ireland’s leading business school and our global alumni community of over 80,000 business graduates. Sponsorship of the ‘Alumni Awards Dinner’ provides a platform to promote your brand and services to some of the most successful business people in Ireland and around the world.
