THE ‘Class of 2021’ celebrated their graduation at the Munster Technological University’s Conferring of Awards Celebration Ceremonies at the Kerry Campus on Friday.
These ceremonies were due to take place in Autumn 2021, but could not take place in person due to COVID 19 restrictions at the time.
The graduates received their parchments in October 2021, and returned to the Kerry Sports Academy at MTU on Friday to celebrate their achievements with family and friends during celebration ceremonies at 10am and 2pm.
