President’s Message
Is lá speisialta é bronnadh na gcéimeanna daoibh féin, do bhur dteaghlaigh agus do bhur gcairde. Thar ceann Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, ba mhaith liom fáilte chroíúil a chur romhaibh go léir agus ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a dhéanamh lenár réamhchéimithe. Ó bunaíodh sinn sa bhliain 1845, tá cáilíochtaí bronnta ar bhreis is 135,000 céimí in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe agus a gcion déanta acu ar fud an domhain mhóir. Is cuid den phobal sin sibh anois, an líonra daoine sin atá ag múnlú na sochaí, ag cur na nuálaíochta chun cinn agus iad ag dul i bhfeidhm ar réimsí anseo in Éirinn agus go hidirnáisiúnta. Táimid bródúil as ár n-oidhreacht anseo in Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, ach táimid dírithe ar an todhchaí freisin, ar ollscoil a fhorbairt a bhfuil cáil uirthi as taighde, cruthaitheacht, inbhuanaitheacht agus ceannaireacht i réimse na sonraí agus na teicneolaíochta. Le linn bhur dtréimhse anseo, chuir sibh leis an aistear sin trí bhur gcuid staidéir, bhur gcuid smaointe agus bhur gcion féin a dhéanamh ar mhaithe le saol an champais. Is mian linn go n-éireoidh lenár gcuid mac léinn ní hamháin go hacadúil, ach ar bhonn pearsanta chomh maith, go ndéanfaidh siad a gcion féin sa saol agus go mbeidh tionchar acu ar an domhan. Mar chéimithe de chuid Ollscoil na Gaillimhe, ní hamháin gur shealbhaigh sibh eolas agus scileanna, ach shealbhaigh sibh freisin ár mbunluachanna mar atá barr feabhais, meas, oscailteacht, muintearas agus inbhuanaitheacht. Is am bródúil é seo dúinn uile. D’oibrigh sibh go dian agus a shliocht sin oraibh. Guím gach rath agus sonas oraibh agus sibh ag tabhairt faoin saol atá amach romhaibh. Comhghairdeas!
