Stop by our last weekly social of the term, join our End of term Celebration, grab a cup of hot chocolate while doing some winter colouring, see some holiday lights, and so much more!

Global Community End of Term Celebration
To celebrate the end of term, we invite all of the Global Community to gather and connect before the winter break at the Grad House, on December 7th from 5-7:00pm. In the spirit of the German holiday Saint Nicholas, we will reflect on the good times had this year while learning more about holiday traditions. Get into the winter and holiday spirit as we play some get-to-know you activities, compete in a trivia game, make some snowflake decorations, practice gratitude, and take part in some seasonal fun. Don’t miss out, RSVP on Engage!
