Greenmount Campus student formal
Date published:
College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) students swapped their workwear for their finest attire to attend the annual Greenmount Campus formal.
The event held in the Tullyglass House Hotel brought together Agriculture, Floristry, Horticulture, Land-based Engineering, and Veterinary Nursing students for a well-deserved night of celebration.
The hotel provided the perfect setting for a night of dining and dancing with laughter and music filling the room. For many, it was a chance to catch up with friends, share a few stories, and make memories before the demands of exams and final pieces of coursework fully set in.
Students were delighted to welcome back to CAFRE Clare Gowell, who had studied for a semester at Greenmount Campus, as part of the student exchange programme with Michigan State University (MSU) in the autumn.
Clare attended the event with current MSU student, Mariah Palazzola. The students completed Agriculture and Horticulture modules for a semester at the Greenmount Campus during the 2024-2025 academic year.
The night was made even more special thanks to the generous support of local agri-food businesses who donated a fantastic array of prizes for a charity raffle. A fantastic total of £1,246 was raised for the Student Council’s nominated charities, Friends of the Cancer Centre and Kidney Research.
The event proved to be a great night of fun with friends. We wish all our students well in their forthcoming assessments, and for some their final exams at CAFRE Greenmount Campus, your future starts now.
