Looking ahead to St. Patrick’s Day celebrations, we sat down with a graduate student raised in the tradition of Irish dance to get a personal reflection on what this time of year means to them.
Meet Siobhan Cooney (G’26): she is a part-time master’s student in the Communication, Culture & Technology program at the Graduate School and works at the Berkley Center for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs as a Communications Associate.
“Irish dance transcends geographical and interpersonal boundaries and brings people together in such a beautiful way,” says Cooney. Explore her lived experiences learning Irish dance and celebrating this annual cultural event.
