BUSINESS ATU GALWAY-MAYO

Three graduates from the Galway International Hotel School at Atlantic Technological University (ATU) were selected among five finalists for the Irish Hospitality Institute Hospitality Graduate of the Year award; Róisín Corrigan and Max Reid from Co Wicklow, and Hannah Smyth from Co Waterford.

The competition is open to all higher education institutes in Ireland to nominate graduates, who went through a rigorous online screening process. A panel of industry judges selected five finalists for an interview in October, with the winner announced at the event.

The gala event was held in Dublin in November 2022. Over 550 attendees from across the Irish Tourism and Hospitality industry witnessed 13 awards and four individuals enrolled as Fellows of the Irish Hospitality Institute (FIHI).
