A Donegal man was among those who recently graduated in Dublin.
Sgt Mark Gillen from Convoy was joined by his wife Olivia and daughter Erin as he received a Graduate Diploma in Guidance Counselling during the Spring Graduation Ceremony in Dublin City University.
Three ceremonies took place in the Mahony Hall in The Helix, featuring students from the University’s five faculties: the DCU Business School, the Institute of Education, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Science & Health, and the Faculty of Engineering & Computing.
This year saw the first graduates from the MA in Documentary Practice cross the stage.
Speaking at the graduation ceremonies, Professor Dáire Keogh, President of Dublin City University, said: “Today is a special day, a day when we get to celebrate the very purpose of our University: the education and graduation of our students.
“We wish each of our graduates every success in the years to come as they make their contribution to the DCU mission ‘to transform lives and societies’.”
