Speaking after the ceremonies, DkIT President Dr Diarmuid O’Callaghan said graduation was an important occasion for students and their families.
Graduations at DkIT are a celebration of the hard work, determination, and achievements of our graduates and always a highlight in our college calendar, he said.
Our graduates are making an impact every day making meaningful contributions to society, here in Ireland and in many countries across the world.
These ceremonies celebrate their wonderful accomplishments and also the support of their friends, families, and DkIT colleagues who have been with them through each step of this journey.
Dr O’Callaghan said the Institute was entering a new chapter.
The Institute is going through an exciting new chapter, bringing more opportunities to build on our strengths, enhance our educational and research ambitions, and further contribute to the economic and social development of the North-East region, he said.
We have a proud legacy, a strong reputation for practical, career-focused education, and we have an ambitious vision for the future.
Our graduates and our current students will always remain at the heart of that vision, representing themselves and DkIT with pride as they continue to make their mark on the world.
