The MSISS community came together on Friday 30th October as students and alumni gathered in Trinity’s new Martin Naughton E3 Learning Foundry for an evening of career stories, shared experiences and panel discussion.
The annual Alumni Evening welcomed graduates from different generations of MSISS back to Trinity, giving current students the chance to hear first-hand about life beyond the programme and the different directions an MSISS degree can take them.
Helen Harrington (2002) of Cantor Fitzgerald Advisory Services, Cormac Hughes (1992) of Deloitte Ireland, Claire Malone (2002) of Google and Garry Tiscovschi (2021), founder of Kreoh, shared their journeys since graduation. From building a business to working across international organisations, their stories offered a glimpse of the range of careers within the MSISS community.
Fellow graduate Mark Mulligan (1991) guided the panel discussion, while Zaac Dooley, Alumni Officer of the Dublin University Management Science Society (DUMSS), brought the student perspective to the conversation.
Management Science and Information Systems Studies (MSISS) is one of the School of Computer Science and Statistics’ undergraduate programmes, bringing together business, mathematics, statistics and computing. The evening was an opportunity to reconnect with that shared foundation, learn from one another and explore ways to stay involved, including through final-year projects and future research and innovation partnerships.
A special thank you goes to Cathy McGennis for organising the evening and for the care and commitment she brings to building and maintaining the strong alumni connections that are such a valued part of MSISS. Our thanks also to the speakers and everyone who joined us.
