Coffee & Cake Session #1
This is a platform for postgraduates to get together and mingle among themselves. It aims to connect postgraduate students with one another in a relaxing and comfortable environment.
Postgraduates may take this opportunity to temporarily get away from their work and catch-up with fellow postgraduates before returning to their routine with a fresh mind.
The session is scheduled for Friday 28 February 2020 from 3pm – 4pm in H1B14.
