August 2023 – Dupont Circle Hotel, Washington D.C.

The SCHM Alumni-Mid Atlantic had a very enjoyable evening at the Dupont Circle Hotel (Doyle Collection) which is the only Irish owned hotel in DC. Our hosts were Mark Payne, General Manager  from Cork but more important were the two Shannon Alumni hotel employees in Julian Enright & Nitin Titus (2016) who coordinated and attended the event. Special thanks to Julian and Nitin for their wonderful hospitality and for producing a lovely flyer for the evening with nice comments.

The Alumni event was planned to welcome the 2023 Shannon Placement Students to the city. We had 2 students attend – Violette Papai and Aisling McCauley. Unfortunately Brenna O’Keefe , Cameron Rose and Gréta Tóth could not attend at the last minute.
