After an inspiring and exciting Project Week, it was time to conclude 2022 with the traditional Christmas Drinks and barbecue. Wittenborg students, faculty and staff gathered under a warm marquee in the courtyard of the Brinklaan campus. While the Glühwein, hot chocolate and sausages were passed around, students had a moment to recover from their hard work for this semester and the project week. It may have been a cold and rainy winter evening in December, but the festivities were heartwarming.
The Christmas Drinks began just after the students finished their assessments for the poster competition concluding their research for the project week. Christmas songs played as the students gathered around the tables to get something to eat and drink, while the amazing team of volunteers, made up of Wittenborg staff and fellow students, helped everyone enjoy their evening.
