The hospitality industry is unique. It offers the guest a chance to escape from every day life chores and challenges. We supply an idealistic experience of a second home, and that’s what is special. Dr. Philip Smyth (previous Head of College) famously said on my first day at Shannon; ‘the hotel is your stage, and you’re the actor’, he could not be more right. I have Shannon to thank you for the amazing opportunities that have come my way this far in my career and being the recipient of the Patrick Lane Scholarship at graduation has given me something once more, to be proud of.

Over the course of four and a half years at Shannon, I've had more opportunities than I could have ever imagined. One of the key benefits of studying at Shannon College lies in its community - comprised of both alumni and faculty. Together, they are the pillars of its success. Often referred to as a family, Shannon's sense of community becomes evident once you become a part of it. Throughout your time at Shannon, lecturers and staff offer unwavering guidance and support, which is unmatched to any other course and extends far beyond graduation. The staff at Shannon instils true hospitality in its students, which we learn and carry with us as alumni. This mindset is what distinguishes Shannon students from everyone else. I graduated in March 2024 and received the Mitzi Corscadden Scholarship, awarded to the graduate who demonstrated entrepreneurship and leadership during their time at Shannon College. Various scholarships are given at Shannon College graduations, acknowledging students' contributions and rewarding their hard work.
