TCD Alumni

👏 Huge congratulations to Trinity alumna Virginia Evans on winning the Women’s Prize for Fiction! 🎉

Virginia moved to Dublin in 2019 to study at the Trinity Oscar Wilde Centre, and we couldn’t be prouder to see her achieve this incredible milestone.

Her debut novel The Correspondent, a story of great joys, small tragedies, and unexpected second chances, has captured hearts and now earned well-deserved recognition. 📚✨

What an inspiring journey, well done, Virginia!

“We started in 1996 - just myself and half a secretary - and we grew over the next few years to a thousand students and 16 staff. [The school] blossomed in 2002 when we had the national assimilation of all nurse and midwife teachers who came in, which brought the school up to 1,400 students, 100 staff. Wonderful to look back at the old days and see what the roots were like and how they've developed and strengthened in the meantime.”
