Accessibility & LanguageNew York Alumni Event May 19 2026
It was a pleasure to welcome over 100 alumni to the Offices of the Consulate General of Ireland in Manhattan on Tuesday, 19 May, for an evening of connection and conversation.
The event marked a significant milestone as we welcomed Professor David Burn for his first visit to New York as President of the University, who used the occasion to share his vision for the future of the University.
The evening also featured an insightful panel discussion on leadership journeys, moderated by Dr. Orla Lenihan, MBA Programme Director, and featuring: Caitriona Fottrell – President & CEO, The Ireland Funds; Aaron Molloy – CEO, Paralign Health; Caoimhe Nic Giollarnáith – Director of the Institute for Irish-American Studies, CUNY; Tina Deignan – President Oncology Commercial, Pfizer.
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate our University community and reconnect with fellow graduates. We look forward to seeing you at our next event.
We would like to extend our thanks to the Consulate for generously hosting the event.
