This event aimed to provide first-year students with a safe space to discuss and work through common personal and academic challenges. The event focused on addressing issues related to the topics of discussion that were suggested to the Wellness Reps of the two residences from the first years. The main suggested topics of discussion included: social anxiety, time management, personal relationships, and the balance between academic and social lives. The event was structured to combine structured discussions and light-hearted, therapeutic activities in order to foster both emotional and social well-being.
The event was a resounding success, with attendees enthusiastically embracing the dress code, black and jeans outfits that added to the evening's energetic ambiance. The carefully curated activities, including teamwork-building games, card games, cup stacking challenges, and lively dancing, ensured that everyone had an unforgettable time. The event's interactive nature fostered a sense of unity among participants, making it a truly memorable experience for all involved.
