Congratulations: Mayo nursing graduate receives top award
Mary Gleeson.
Mayo nursing graduate, Mary Gleeson, from Claremorris, had double cause for celebration after achieving ‘top of her class’ status at the 25th annual Hibernia College conferring ceremony, held at Dublin’s Convention Centre recently.
In addition to receiving her BSc in Nursing qualification, Mary was honoured with the overall Student of the Year Award – presented by the College to the student in each cohort with the highest grade across their programme.
Mary was one of what was a record number of over 1,000 graduates from all 26 counties to qualify with Masters in Primary and Post-Primary teaching, and, for the first time, a Masters or Postgraduate Diploma in Inclusive and Special Education, or a BSc in Nursing.
Congratulating the graduates and acknowledging the remarkable achievements of each and every one of them, Dr Mary Kelly, President of Hibernia College Group, emphasised that those gathered had demonstrated exceptional dedication and resilience throughout their studies. She affirmed her confidence that “each graduate will go on to make a vital and valuable contribution to their chosen profession”.
