TABLEtalk: Culture Shock!
We had a great mix of students and alumni at TABLEtalk last night, for our discussion on Culture Shock. That mix included participants from India, Nigeria, China, Peru, Iran, Lithuania, Egypt, Jordan. We spent quite a long time talking about the culture curve, with some open and honest comments about the nice stuff and the challenging / stressful stuff!

TABLEtalk - Survive or Thrive
This week we were a little fewer in numbers, as some weren't feeling well and The Famous Five are on holiday!
We began our evening with a NASA survival exercise and I have to say this group did the very best of any group of students so far ... well done!
Then our two groups of new students worked on brainstorming what they need in place, to not just survive this time but to THRIVE, both academically, and holistically as a person.Here's a list of some of the things they came up with:
❤ Socialise ❤ Manage your money and your time well ❤ Find some good traditional food ❤ Take care of your physical health, get good sleep & rest, and stay warm ❤ Be adaptable ❤ Work on your skills acquisition ❤ Be active, play sports ❤ Work on your resilience ❤ Be flexible ❤ Seek out academic supportMacMillan Coffee Morning
Thank you to all those who helped provide scrumptious cakes. To my dear friend, Pauline, my very favourite washer-upper 😀 Most especially, THANK YOU, to all who came along, not just to eat but to donate.
A total of £257 was raised 😀😀😀
