Maynooth alumni gather for anniversary reunion

MAYNOOTH University alumni are invited back to campus on Saturday, 6 September to celebrate the annual Maynooth University Alumni Reunion.

This year, the event will specifically celebrate graduates from 2015, 2005, 1995, 1985, and 1975 – who will all be celebrating a roundy anniversary.

“Although we are celebrating graduates from decade years, all alumni are more than welcome to join in the celebrations,” said Caoimhe Derwin Ward, from the Alumni Relations Office.

It is an afternoon event, from 12.30-4pm, starting with a welcome reception and drinks.

Guests will then be invited to enjoy a three-course lunch in Pugin Hall, St Patrick's College, and there will be musical entertainment throughout the day.

The reunion is an opportunity for alumni to revisit the campus, to reconnect with fellow classmates and MU staff, and to celebrate together.

Tickets for the reunion are on sale now via Eventbrite and are €45 per person.

Guests are welcome, and table or group bookings can be made by calling +353 1 708 6492.
