Alumni Engagement at <strong>TU</strong> <strong>Dublin</strong><br />
Kevin Street and Cathal Brugha Street<br />
Celebrations<br />
In Spring <strong>2020</strong>, two “Farewell” events organised<br />
by the Alumni Relations team welcomed over<br />
2,000 Alumni back to <strong>TU</strong> <strong>Dublin</strong> – some of whom<br />
had not returned in decades.<br />
Kevin Street staff, alumni and friends say goodbye<br />
A “Farewell to Kevin Street” event held in February<br />
gave graduates, staff and friends the chance to<br />
celebrate the unique history of the building as<br />
the home of technological education in Ireland<br />
since 1887. Early March brought an opportunity<br />
for Cathal Brugha Street Alumni to visit their<br />
Alma Mater and reminisce about their college<br />
days, meet with their former classmates and hear<br />
about the University’s exciting next chapter in Grangegorman.<br />
Guests at both events met old friends, toured the buildings and<br />
viewed an archive of memorabilia and photographs. We were<br />
delighted that RTE’s Nationwide captured a snapshot of Cathal<br />
Brugha Street’s legacy, highlighting its many achievements over<br />
the decades. The School will celebrate 80 years in 2021 and we<br />
look forward to hosting alumni and friends on the Grangegorman<br />
campus to tour the impressive new facilities when restrictions allow.<br />
