Dear alumni & friends,<br />
I want to express my sincere appreciation for your support over the past year,<br />
and as we embark on an unprecedented era of change at our University.<br />
Established on 1 January 2019, Technological University <strong>Dublin</strong> is<br />
revolutionising the provision of Higher Education in Ireland, and I am proud<br />
to be the first President of the only Irish University offering pathways to<br />
graduation, from Apprenticeship to PhD.<br />
Your support has never been more important or valued as we embrace the<br />
infinite possibilities that lie ahead. Our students are at the heart of all we do,<br />
and we are immensely proud of our history of providing inclusive, practiceled<br />
academic programmes to students at all stages of learning across a wide<br />
range of disciplines. With your support, we encourage our students to reach<br />
for the stars and achieve their full potential as citizens of the world.<br />
Together we achieved a great deal over the past year. With your support,<br />
we have increased our capacity to produce pioneering research, awarded<br />
more scholarships than ever before and launched a number of community<br />
programmes. You have also provided cutting-edge equipment to help our<br />
students acquire the practical experience they need to succeed in the world<br />
of work upon graduation.<br />
I am profoundly grateful to you, our loyal donors for your generosity as we<br />
work together to deliver a state-of-the-art space for academic, cultural,<br />
social, recreational and sporting activities at Grangegorman. Construction<br />
is well underway, and we are excited at the prospect of welcoming 10,000<br />
students in September 2020.<br />
This development represents the most substantial investment in higher<br />
education in the history of the State. <strong>TU</strong> <strong>Dublin</strong> is proud to be a central part<br />
of such a nationally significant regeneration project, and we are honoured to<br />
have you with us on this exciting journey.<br />
I want to thank you most sincerely for your trust and support at this historic<br />
and transformative time.<br />
Best regards<br />
Prof David FitzPatrick<br />
President, Technological University <strong>Dublin</strong>
