2024 Alumni Reunion

Mary Immaculate College (MIC) was delighted to welcome back close to 200 graduates to the College on Saturday 5 October 2025 for its annual Alumni Reunion. 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.

2019 Alumni Reunion

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.
