Event Provides Opportunities for Relaxing and Socialising

For more than 100 Wittenborg students and staff members, the evening of 23 February was an opportunity to have fun, relax and make new friends. Held at Bowlingcentrum Apeldoorn, the school’s Bowling Night featured 10 reserved lanes for the members of the Wittenborg family from 17:00 to 19:00. It also included free drinks and snacks for participants who had registered prior to the event.  

According to External Relations & Events Manager Sophia Faraji, the school is planning other exciting events such as the Karaoke Night in April and the Summer Jam in June. “We encourage all students to participate in these activities because they help with stress relief and promote community building,” she said.  

MBM student Kalu Agwu, specialising in Logistics & Trade, said that he enjoyed the Bowling Night a lot, describing it as competitive and interesting.

“I really liked it because it was a break from our daily routine. It was a time to relax and enjoy the company of friends and fellow students, and the environment was also very good. As they say, ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’, so activities like this promote socialisation, connection and relaxation. I definitely expect Wittenborg to organise more events of this kind.” 

Upinder Kaur, who is pursuing an HBA degree in Tourism Management, said that by taking part in this event she had the chance to meet many new students of different nationalities and talk to them. “I would appreciate more events like this because they are a chance for all the new students and current students to come together and get to know each other. On top of that, I think it is important for the students to have fun but also to take their studies seriously. You have to make sure you have a good work-life balance, and having fun is part of that.”
