Dear alumni and friends,<br />
I would like to thank you most sincerely for your engagement and support<br />
over the past year. Together we continue to empower our students to reach<br />
for their dreams and to achieve their full potential as engaged global citizens,<br />
ready to meet the challenges of an ever-changing world.<br />
Your donations enables <strong>DIT</strong> to continue to realise our mission as a<br />
comprehensive higher education institution, delivering academic<br />
programmes - from apprenticeships to PhD - across a wide range of disciplines<br />
for our students of all ages and backgrounds. The support of our alumni and<br />
friends increases our capacity to produce cutting-edge research and deliver<br />
much needed community related projects. Now, in partnership with our<br />
sister Institutes of Technology in Tallaght and Blanchardstown, we are close<br />
to achieving our goal of creating a Technological University that will serve<br />
not only the greater Dublin Region but will be a beacon for higher education<br />
nationally and internationally.<br />
We are also succeeding in our ambition to develop an amazing 21st century<br />
learning environment on our Grangegorman Campus for all <strong>DIT</strong> students.<br />
We are profoundly grateful to our donors, supporters and friends for their<br />
support in delivering what will be 140,000m² of purpose-built space for<br />
academic, cultural, social, recreational and sporting activities, as well as oncampus<br />
student accommodation, in the heart of a European capital city. We<br />
have commenced construction on the next two major academic quads this<br />
Spring, which will provide state-of-the-art facilities for 10,000 students by<br />
2020.<br />
We are very proud to be a central part of such a nationally significant<br />
regeneration project, which will support the development of the city,<br />
enhance cultural life and bring additional creativity and innovation to our<br />
local community.<br />
Thank you for placing your trust in us and supporting our development at<br />
such an exciting and transformative time.<br />
Warm regards<br />
Professor Brian Norton<br />
President, Dublin Institute of Technology
