30 35 40 and 45 Year Anniversary Reunion 6 September 2025
On 6 September 2025, we welcomed back 230 graduates to campus to celebrate milestone anniversaries — 45, 40, 35 and 30 years since graduation.
The campus was alive with chat, stories and fond memories of college days in Galway. Many enjoyed tours of the campus from the Aula Maxima, wandering the Concourse and revisiting lecture halls, to exploring the new Library site and Student Sports Centre. We also had tours of the Alice Perry and old Engineering Buildings, Mass for classmates in St Columbanus Chapel, photos, BBQ and a DJ spinning the hits of the ’80s and ’90s.
Thank you to everyone who returned — Galway may have grown and changed over the years but the friendships, stories, and memories of your days here in Galway are as alive as ever.
Below are some of the pictures from the event.
