Voices 2025 -Laura Mahoney, Executive Director of Engagement with DCU
Alumni engagement is a cornerstone of DCU’s success, fostering a vibrant community that inspires current students and strengthens the University’s impact at home and abroad. By sharing these stories of successful and diverse career journeys, our graduates serve as role models, motivating our current students to pursue their ambitions with confidence.
Our partnerships with enterprise, employers, and the local community, are essential in building networks of support that benefit our students and alumni alike. Through initiatives like our mentorship programmes and international chapters, we seek to cultivate these meaningful connections that enhance both the graduate and student experience and open doors to new opportunities. Together, we can create a dynamic ecosystem of collaboration and innovation, helping DCU continue to transform lives and societies.
Stay connected – your impact matters!
