College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) students swapped their workwear for their finest attire to attend the annual Greenmount Campus formal recently.
The event held at Tullyglass House Hotel brought together agriculture, floristry, horticulture, land-based engineering, and veterinary nursing students for a well-deserved night of celebration.
The hotel provided the perfect setting for a night of dining and dancing with laughter and music filling the room, according to the organisers.
For many, it was a chance to catch up with friends, share stories, and make memories before the demands of exams and final pieces of coursework fully set in.

Students were delighted to welcome back to CAFRE Clare Gowell, who had studied for a semester at Greenmount Campus, as part of the student exchange programme with Michigan State University (MSU) in the autumn.
Clare attended the event with current MSU student, Mariah Palazzola. The students completed agriculture and horticulture modules for a semester at the Greenmount Campus during the 2024-2025 academic year.
There was also generous support from local agri-food businesses, who donated an array of prizes for a charity raffle.
A total of £1,246 was raised for the Student Council’s nominated charities, Friends of the Cancer Centre and Kidney Research.
CAFRE has wished all of its students well in their forthcoming assessments, and for some their final exams at CAFRE Greenmount Campus.
