Graduation 2008
Addressing the latest graduates, NCI president Dr. Paul Mooney said: “In 1951, NCI was founded by the Jesuits as the Workers College – as a way to tackle educational disadvantage. Almost 60 years later this mission remains valid. The real measure of Jesuit inspired universities lies in who our students become…
You now need to take your newfound talents and become an active and responsible citizen. The strong support the weak. NCI does not see itself as just a degree factory. We want to leave a positive legacy in the achievement of our students”.
He went on to say: “Today, we are proud to be witne sses to you r success and wish you every joy and happiness for the future. On behalf of all of the National College of Ireland team, enjoy your graduation day. You’ve certainly earned it.”
