New Academic Year Kicks off with Student Barbecue

What better way to mark the opening of the new academic year (and bid a sad farewell to the summer holiday) than a barbeque? 

That is exactly what students and staff at Wittenborg University of Applied Sciences did when they got together on Thursday evening for an informal meet-up before school starts in earnest. The event was hosted by the Wittenborg Student Society (SWIFT).

While at some point rain threatened to dampen the party, by early afternoon it was all dry.  Members of SWIFT made sure everyone had enough to eat and drink, lots of great music and fun to be had. This was the organisation's third event since it was launched in December last year.

The party was well attended by staff as well as students from lots of different nationalities – especially new students were well represented. What a great way to kick off the new year!
