*The event aimed to not only launch the 30th Edition of the SER but to also celebrate its success and impact. Current and former staff and over 120 graduates attended the event, travelling from Ireland and overseas, to connect with old friends and to reflect on the SER experiences that have stayed with them long after they left Trinity.
