Leading Irish composer, Patrick Cassidy, a former attendee at the University of Limerick, will have his song, Proclamation played at the inauguration of Joe Biden in Washington DC today.
Violinist Patricia Treacy, from Blackrock, Co Louth was invited to perform at the inauguration of President Joe Biden and chose to play ‘Proclamation’, which Patrick originally composed for the 1916 Centenary.
Cassidy graduated from the University of Limerick with a BSC in Applied Maths in 1985 before moving to Los Angelus, where he resides today. The talented composer was the recipient of Alumni Award in 2007 for his Outstanding Contribution to Culture/Arts.
Thirty-year-old medical student Emmanuel McNeely considers his life goal and God-given calling to work toward gender and racial diversity in medicine.
“That way we can help eliminate health disparities and really improve health outcomes for all races,” said McNeely, a 2012 graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic University currently pursuing his doctorate in medicine at the Florida Atlantic University’s Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine.
As an African American med student planning to specialize in orthopedic surgery, McNeely believes his career ambitions are a direct result of a surgeon who took the time to mentor him. He has co-founded The Dr. M.D. Project to provide more minority students with guidance in the field. The project earned McNeely the 2021 Young Alumni Award from the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU).
