Mary Immaculate College (MIC) was delighted to welcome back 180 graduates to the College on Saturday, 4 October, for its Alumni Reunion. Graduates from as far back as 1960 and as recent as 2020 returned to MIC to reconnect with old friends, share memories of their student days, browse archival materials, and see the many changes to the campus since they last walked its halls.

The Class of 1975 was the most represented year on the day, with over 46 graduates returning to campus. This cohort holds a special place in MIC’s history as the final group to complete the two-year National Teaching Course before it transitioned to a three-year Bachelor of Education degree.

This year’s event celebrated milestone anniversaries for the graduating classes of 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020.

The MIC Alumni Reunion takes place annually and invites graduates to return to  campus every five years after their graduation. For further information on MIC’s Alumni and planned Alumni events, please click here or sign up for MIC’s Alumni newsletter.

Graduates from 12 class years from as recent as 2014 and as far back as 1959 were among those who returned to the College to meet old friends, reminisce about their studies, view old archive materials and tour the MIC Limerick campus - much changed since they graduated in most cases.

The Alumni Reunion 2024 saw particularly strong interest from the classes of 1969, 1974 and 1989. The 1974 cohort included many members of MIC’s first hurling team and MIC’s Fitzgibbon Cup 2024 winning manager, Jamie Wall and team captain, Colin O’Brien, attended the event to meet the men who sowed the seeds of the sport in MIC all those years ago—under the watchful eye of PE lecturer, coach and Gaelic Games stalwart, the late Noreen Lynch.

There were three attendees who graduated 65 years ago - Bridie Cannon, Mary Kenny and Margaret Clancy (Class of 1959). The event was also a family affair for four Bachelor of Education graduates; Limerick mother and daughter, Marie Rigney (Class of 1974) and Orla Murray (Class of 2004) as well as two sisters from Kerry - Eileen Magann (Class of 1989), Principal of Boheeshil NS, Glencar and Claire Doyle (Class of 1994), Principal of Firies NS, Killarney.

This year's event celebrated the graduating classes of 2019, 2014, 2009, 2004, 1999, 1994, 1989, 1984, 1979, 1974, 1969, 1964, 1959, 1954 and 1944. See a selection of class group photos below.

On Saturday 5 October 2019, Mary Immaculate College opened its doors as it welcomed back over 200 of its past students for the annual Alumni Reunion.

An exhibition detailing life on campus from the early years of the 20th century up to the present day evoked many memories and attendees remarked on the many changes that have taken place at MIC since they graduated.

A special mention was given to Nora Murphy, a native of Limerick who graduated from Mary Immaculate College 70 years ago and went on to teach at St Patrick’s National School in Limerick City until her retirement. Professor Wall described Nora as an inspiration to the current students of MIC and whose dedication to teaching in Limerick has no doubt benefited the many students who passed through her classroom.

The class of 1969, who celebrated their 50 year reunion, were one of the larger groups in attendance on Saturday and Dr Áine Lawlor, a graduate of that year, joined Professor Wall to cut the cake. Dr Lawlor, a member of the Governing Body of MIC, An tÚdarás Rialaithe, has a long and distinguished career in education having served as Chief Executive of the Teaching Council.
