DCU Alumni Wall 2009-2010
7 December 2009

The second annual DCU Alumni Wall was officially launched on Wednesday 25th November. The Alumni Wall holds pride of place on the ground floor of the John and Aileen O’Reilly Library. Each year 12 Alumni are featured on the DCU Alumni Wall in recognition of their outstanding achievements both academically and personally.

Patrick McDermott, CEO of the DCU Educational Trust, welcomed all the Alumni featured on the Alumni Wall back to DCU. He spoke of the economic climate our students are facing, many for the first time in their lives, and how the DCU Alumni Wall would help to encourages our students to follow their goals regardless of the economic climate we are currently experiencing.

Gervaise Slowey, Managing Director of Oglivy & Mather, spoke of her career path from a DCU Student to Managing Director of Oglivy & Mather. She mentioned the importance of the first job opportunity after graduating from DCU and how this shaped her future career. She thanked the DCU Alumni Council, DCU Staff and her fellow DCU Alumni for the nomination to appear on the DCU Alumni Wall for the academic year 2009 - 2010.
