The annual DIT Societies Awards ceremony and dinner was held at the Burlington Hotel on Tuesday 12th April. Organised by the Societies Office, and with Professor Brian Norton as guest of honour, the event was a celebration of the many students who participated in the activities of some 80 societies throughout the year, contributing in a very significant way to campus life in DIT.
