‘I really enjoyed the food, music and entertainment provided during the dinner. I hope that you will continue doing it in the future.’ (Canterbury Student)
‘Well done on the fantastic party you and your team put together. Hope to see you again soon.’ (Medway Student)
Organised by the Student Learning Advisory Service in partnershp with International Development, international students at the Canterbury and Medway campuses enjoyed an evening (Canterbury 9 January, Medway 15 January) of food, dance and music in celebration of New Year.
The social events with an academic twist, provided internatinal students from over 60 countries with an opportunity to break the monotony of the Winter holidays by meeting up with fellow ‘stay-on-campus students’, and, at the same time, to reflect on the successes and challenges of studying in the UK. At Canterbury, students enjoyed a traditional Xmas dinner in the brightly and festively decorated Rutherford Dining Hall, followed by a ceilidh with dancing. At Medway, student band Aztec provided an equally lively background to proceedings in the wonderfully transformed No1. Both evenings offered students the opportunity of taking part in a quiz on plagiarism and academic integrity with the winning teams of students receiving Amazon vouchers, as prizes.
Watch out for other events in the future!
