The achievements of UCC’s History students, undergraduate and postgraduate, were celebrated recently at the Department’s Annual Prize-giving Ceremony.
The event provides an opportunity for the staff of the History Department to acknowledge publicly, and pay appropriate tribute, to the inspiring work of those students. Members of staff referred to the individual efforts of the prize winners in the various categories. Trophies were awarded to the History Student of the Year in I, II and III Year, as well as at MA, MPhil and PhD level; for work completed in the last academic year. Prizes were similarly awarded to European Integration Studies students for achievement at undergraduate level.
The event also provides an opportunity to acknowledge the generosity of the donors and representatives of the families of donors of various other prizes which were awarded – the John A. Murphy Prize in Irish History, the John B. O’Brien Annual Prize in History, the Leonora Hanrahan Prize in History, the James and Mary Hogan Prize in History and the Michael McEnery Memorial Prize. All of these prizes carry considerable prestige, as well as providing much-appreciated financial assistance to History students.
The ceremony concluded with a tribute to the administrative staff in the department for their great dedication and kindness to so many students over the years. A special presentation was made to Charlotte Holland for her tireless work for the department’s Schools Liaison and Outreach Committee, which organised the prize-giving ceremony.
