Reading University Welcome Drinks 2010
Felix Welcome Reception- University of Reading - Thursday
28th October 2010
We invited all current and new scholars and various members of
academic and administrative staff.
28 accepted our invitation and of those 24 actually
attended.
The evening progressed well and all members of staff managed to
chat to each of the students. Many of the new scholars had already
met and 3 of them had been interviewed in India on the same day and
then had travelled to the UK together!
They were all very chatty and enthusiastic about their brief time
in Reading. All had settled well into their accommodation and were
pleased to meet the Non-Indian scholar. They were all planning to
use some of their time here to explore various parts of the UK,
study permitting!
In past years we had always felt the need for some background
music but we didn't need it this time and there was a good level of
engagement between all attendees.
We took several photos and left the students outside the
Carrington Building taking their own photos and organising
get-togethers.
All in all the evening was a great success and seemed to be
enjoyed by all!
