After the graduates were conferred in the first session of the day, the first President’s Award was announced by NCI’s Vice President, Professor Jimmy Hill. From one Vice President to another, the award was presented to NCISU Vice President Dean Murphy for his contribution to Student Participation and Innovation during his time studying towards his [BA (Honours) in Business](https://www.ncirl.ie/Courses/Course-Details/course/BAHBMD) degree.

On top of that, NCISU President Dajana Sinik also won a President’s Award. Congratulations to both Dean and Dajana for making NCI proud!

### 2. Computing Graduate Ryan Turned 21

It was a big day for Ryan O’Toole as he not only graduated alongside the rest of the class of 2019, he also celebrated his 21st birthday!

Both of these occasions are big moments to celebrate and remember so we captured a photo of Ryan with some of classmates who are all progressing from [Higher Certificates in Computing](https://www.ncirl.ie/Courses/Course-Details/course/HCBC) to honours degrees.

> Happy 21st Birthday to Ryan O’Toole, graduating from National College of Ireland today with classmates Mark Noble, Josh O’Regan and Sean Dolan, all of whom have earned Higher Certificates in Computing and are progressing on to honours degrees [#NCIGrad2019](https://twitter.com/hashtag/NCIGrad2019?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/CXS4y64VDk](https://t.co/CXS4y64VDk)

### 3. Husband and Wife Nick & Gill Graduated Together

Here’s a recipe for success; husband and wife Nick and Gill Dempsey both graduated with business degrees from NCI. Nick graduated with a [BA (Hons) in Business Management](https://www.ncirl.ie/Courses/Course-Details/course/BAHBSM) degree while Gill now has a [BA (Hons) in HRM Strategy and Practice](https://www.ncirl.ie/Courses/Course-Details/course/BAHSTP) to her name – both of which are three-year part-time degrees.

Congrats to you both for your hard work and dedication!

### 4. The First Group of IFS Apprentices Graduated

The [International Financial Services (IFS) Apprenticeships is](https://ifsapprenticeships.ie/) run in association with FSI and provides a pathway to a career in financial services through a combination of off-the-job and on-the-job learning modules. Apprentices work in blue-chip financial institutions for two years while attending regular classes in National College of Ireland.

We know how hard they have worked so it was fantastic to see the first class of IFS Apprentices graduate at our recent ceremony – well done.

> Fantastic to have our first group of IFS Apprentices graduating today!

> Wishing you all the best in your future careers [#NCIGrad2019](https://twitter.com/hashtag/NCIGrad2019?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) [pic.twitter.com/YKxvQHchqX](https://t.co/YKxvQHchqX)

### 5. Our Social Sharing Champions Were Announced

The NCI team were so proud to see so many of our graduates along with their friends and families sharing photos of their academic achievements on social media at their graduation. We loved seeing all of your graduation memories so much that we ran a competition to win a bottle of bubbles with one winner from each session on the day.

Thank you to everyone who entered the competition by using [#NCIGrad2019](https://www.instagram.com/p/B5bDBS2HFqC/) and huge congratulations to our three graduate winners Chris, Sophia and Zoë (special note to Chris’ sister Shannon and Sophia’s father Patrick for sharing winning photos).
