YEAR TO COME
Jubilee Reunions
Each year, UCD runs a series of special jubilee reunions to mark the
50th, 40th and 25th anniversaries of undergraduate qualifications.
This year, it’s the turn of the classes of 1958, 1968 and 1983 to
celebrate their golden, ruby and silver jubilees.
If you are a graduate from 1958, 1968 or 1983 and you haven’t

Class Gift Programme
In 2007, a new element of the jubilee celebrations was introduced.
Under the ‘Class Gift Programme’ each jubilee reunion year is
asked to consider supporting the UCD development campaign.
Money raised through class gifts is used to support scholarships,
bursaries and the new Woodland Walkway.
By contributing to the class gift programme, alumni create a
lasting impression of class pride and commitment to UCD which at
the same time enriches the environment for the next generation
of students.
