Alumni Newsletter - February 2025

Message from Professor Rory Breathnach,

Dean & Head of School

Professor Rory Breathnach

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

I am delighted to introduce the February 2025 edition of the UCD School of Veterinary Medicine Alumni Newsletter.  

In this issue, we're celebrating lots of School successes, including the very well deserved award of the Veterinary Ireland Distinguished Service Medal to my predecessor, Prof Michael Doherty. We're also highlighting the really successful 'I Decide' outreach project, which was set up to encourage primary school students from lower socioeconomic areas to consider pursuing third level education.

We're also looking for recent graduates to join our Young Alumni Ambassadors Group - keep reading to find out more about this important initiative and how you can get involved.

I hope you enjoy reading our Newsletter.

With my very best wishes,

Rory
