UNMC Graduate School Christmas Party
So it’s that time of the year again where the Christmas trees are brought out, Christmas carols play in the background while colleagues at the University decorate their offices with Christmas ornaments. Its the festive season and a reason to celebrate the year end!!!
In line with this, the Graduate School recently held its annual Christmas party on Friday, 18th December 2015. The party brought postgraduate students (Masters and PhD) from different faculties together and fostered social interaction and unity among the postgraduate community.
The Christmas party started off with a welcome speech by the Vice-Provost of Research and Knowledge Transfer, Professor Graham Kendall.
One of the activities organised was writing down season’s greetings and new year wishes on paper cups. The artistically designed cups with greetings and wishes written on them are currently being displayed at the Postgraduate Hub, H1B12. We hope that these greetings and wishes can somewhat motivate everyone in achieving their goals in life.
A game called the “Candy Guess” was also organised. The postgraduate students were invited to guess how many candies and chocolates were in the jar.
The Candy Guess game was featured on the blog of Malaysia Research and Knowledge Transfer. Click here to know more about the game which reminded Professor Kendall of the Wisdom of the Crowds.
The person who had the closest guess was Oppong Kyekyeku Appiah, a Masters student from the School of Politics, History and International Relations.
The Christmas party provided an excellent platform for postgraduate students of the University to mingle with their peers and members of staff in a casual and relaxed environment with refreshments served.
We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and Happy Holidays!!!
