Recent Reunions

The Class of 1976 recently celebrated their Golden Jubilee reunion. 150 graduates from across all faculties reunited to mark 50 years since their time at UCC with attendees travelling from every province in Ireland and as far as Canada, the US, the UK, Austria, Germany and France. View the full album.

"Thank you for the wonderful reunion and celebration. It was delightful to reconnect with old colleagues and catch up on developments. I was particularly impressed by what UCC has accomplished in the intervening 50 years." - Noel Tobin, BE 1976

Reunions also took place recently for the BA Class of 1971, BComm Class of 1981, BSc (Microbiology) Class of 1991, BComm (French), 2005 and Australia-based alumni from the Medicine Class of 2016 got together for a mini reunion Down Under. These meet-ups were great opportunities to reconnect, reminisce and for classmates to give back in ways that shape the future. View our photo gallery for recent class reunions.

“It was great fun to see people as they arrived at the arch and wonder did we know them? There were a few that took time to identify but it was such fun to catch up with them. The catch up and chats were easy and we got some nice emails and messages over the past 36 hours thanking us, saying how enjoyable it was and wondering if we are organising a 50^th one!” - Richard Healy, BComm 1981
