Week review

Last Friday we had the Staff BBQ, where we had a lot of research and teaching staff. Even though the rain really came down after 6, we could move inside without any trouble.

On Monday we had the General Assembly where we discussed the budget and year schedule for next year. We also approved the long term plan and the candidate board.

On Wednesday we had the June Social: A touch of tiger, where the IntroCee announced their theme: "Rewind, blast from the past"
