The era of young graduates expecting the job offer at every interview has passed. But, while hitch-hiking around South East Asia is not something to highlight on a CV, this is not the 1980s and graduates have real opportunities here and globally with their UCD degree in their back pocket. EILIS O’BRIEN Much of our communication with students over the past few years Director of has been about the quality of our academic offering, our facilities, Communication our holistic approach to student development and student life. This year, we extended the message and asked our graduates to tell their own stories. Our aim is to show that UCD graduates have more than just academic competence. They have drive and pride. The first 3 stories are on the UCD Life video wall, at www.ucdlife.ie Una Morrison, whose BComm took her across the globe marketing – among other things – Häagen-Dazs in the Philippines or “vanilla in Manila” as she says herself, is currently Digital Operations Manager, Europe, for Kellogg. Alan McHugh, BE, who is project manager with Eirgrid, talks about the “forward thinking attitude at UCD that strikes a chord with employers”. He’s working on the Grid 25 project which is as significant to electricity transmission today as Ardnacrusha was in the 1930s. Zoe Kavanagh, BAgSci, talks about how her passion for horses led her to choose her course but that she didn’t really know where her degree would take her. So, while she might have once wished to be an equine vet, today she’s totally dedicated to her role as CEO of the National Dairy Council. Over the coming weeks we will release more videos onto the graduate gallery. Among them: a philosophy graduate working for an NGO, another BA graduate of English who was recently nominated for an Oscar, an award-winning architect, a transplant surgeon who has just come home to Ireland and a scientist managing programmes for the European Space Agency. If you have suggestions of graduates you feel have an inspiring story to tell, get in touch and we will help spread the word. UCD thanks...

  • The Newberry Annual Report 2019–20
    The Newberry A nnua l Repor t 2019–20 30 Fall/Winter 2020 Letter from the Chair and the President Dear Friends and Supporters of the Newberry, The Newberry’s 133rd year began with sweeping changes in library leadership when Daniel Greene was appointed President and Librarian in August 2019. The year concluded in the midst of a global pandemic which mandated the closure of our building. As the Newberry staff adjusted to the abrupt change of working from home in mid-March, we quickly found innovative ways to continue engaging with our many audiences while making Chair of the Board of Trustees President and Librarian plans to safely reopen the building. The Newberry David C. Hilliard Daniel Greene responded both to the pandemic and to the civil unrest in Chicago and nationwide with creativity, energy, and dedication to advancing the library’s mission in a changed world. Our work at the Newberry relies on gathering people together to think deeply about the humanities. Our community—including readers, scholars, students, exhibition visitors, program attendees, volunteers, and donors—brings the library’s collection to life through research and collaboration. After in-person gatherings became impossible, we joined together in new ways, connecting with our community online. Our popular Adult Education Seminars, for example, offered a full array of classes over Zoom this summer, and our public programs also went online. In both cases, attendance skyrocketed, and we were able to significantly expand our geographic reach. With the Reading Rooms closed, library staff responded to more than 450 research questions over email while working from home.
