BEARA poet Leanne O?Sullivan was among the outstanding achievers in the arts, business, medicine and volunteering who were honoured by UCC at the 2012 UCC Alumni Achievement Awards recently.
Arts graduate, Leanne has made a very considerable reputation for herself as a poet despite her youth.
Leanne has published two collections of poetry Waiting for my Clothes (2004) when she was still an undergraduate student at UCC and Cailleach: The Hag of Beara (2009).
Her third collection The Mining Road is due out next year.
Her poetry has been acclaimed for the extraordinary power of its language and the maturity of vision and she has won many prestigious international poetry awards.
The annual UCC Alumni Achievement Awards Programme honours alumni who have obtained ?extraordinary distinction and success in their chosen fields?.
More than 60 distinguished UCC alumni have been honoured since the Awards Programme was established in 1997.
UCC President Dr Michael Murphy said, ?It gives me great pleasure to present an Alumnus Achievement Award to those graduates whose outstanding accomplishments have brought great hour to their alma mater.
?We regard our graduates as our global ambassadors and a valuable resource to the University?.
