Graduation Party 2011

November 11, 2011

On 11 November 2011, the graduating students of the MEG, FEM and REM programmes celebrated their graduation party together at the Peterhofkeller.  The event commenced with a champagne reception, followed by speeches from professors, students and the presentation of graduation certificates.  Guests were also treated to musical performances and other displays of skill by current students, before the formal part of the evening concluded and graduation party celebrations began.

As in previous years, the unique ambience of the historic Peterhofkeller provided an excellent setting for the graduation party.  The venue was packed with joyful and glamorously dressed students, family members and Faculty staff.  The official programme was carried out in a formal manner befitting a graduation ceremony, but with an emphasis on laughter and joyful memories.  As part of the programme, the graduating students were given the opportunity to present their, often humorous, tales of the last 2 years of study, friendship and cultural interaction.

Following the conclusion of formalities, the night’s schedule offered many more highlights which provided an unforgettable farewell for the graduates.  These included performances by the students of such diverse items as a traditional Hawaiian Hula, self-composed songs accompanied by acoustic guitar, and martial arts displays.  Lastly, the REM Big Band took to the stage to kick off unbridled celebrations that lasted long in to the night.
