Goodbye 2024!
2024 went out in style!
The end of term brought some traditional social events to our calendar. ESSA and the Fletcher Club held a study night for students, and invited teaching assistants along for snacks, hot chocolate, and exam preparation.
The traditional end-of term potluck organized and hosted by the Fletcher Club and ESSA took place at the University Club in the Little Blue Building behind Huggins. Guests shared food and fun and everyone had a great evening celebrating the end of the year!
