DCU Voices

2021 EDITION 27 In a year like no other, it was an Alumni Awards with a difference as the ceremony went virtual. While graduates, staff and friends of the university could not gather in- person at the Helix for the 2020 DCU Alumni Awards, the year did not pass without our annual celebration of our graduates and their achievements. For the first time, the annual DCU Alumni Awards took place online. Hosted by Zainab Boladale (BA Journalism, 2017), the ceremony on July 8 recognised the successes of our graduates across the world with 11 award recipients added to the Alumni Wall, and six recipients honoured with Outstanding Achievement awards. Speaking about the Awards, DCU President, Prof Daire Keogh said: “At DCU, we are dedicated to ‘Transforming Lives and Society’. Each year, the Alumni Awards provide us with an opportunity to honour our extraordinary graduates who have done that through their profession and passion. In honouring them, we renew the commitment to our great mission, and we celebrate our graduates as an inspiration to students, staff, and supporters.” DCU Alumni Awards 2020 From the Helix to homes across the globe Zainab Boldale, BA Journalism, 2017 TV Presenter and Journalist at RTÉ
