Welcome Dinner 2009

The 2009-2010 academic year is here, and LGS has hosted its annual Welcome Dinner once again. The Welcome Dinner was held on Thursday, September 24th at Alumnae Hall, where LGS students, professors, and Administrators enjoyed each other’s company and learned more about the program and new goals. It was an elegant and friendly atmosphere, a chance for LGS community to break the barrier by welcoming the new students and meeting their fellow classmates, faculty and staff.

This year’s Masters of Ceremony included LGS juniors Danielle Saunders and Asif Zaman, and LGS sophomore Michelle Consorte. To start the evening, guests partook in an icebreaker in order to get to know one another better. Afterwards, the deans Dr. Rubin and Dr. Brizerelli offered their words of wisdom to students and talked about the LGS program. Following, the new LGS director, Dr. Devin Thornberg welcomed the guests and presented his plans and vision for the program.

Then followed dinner and entertainment. Guests had an opportunity to eat and mingle with others. After dinner, MC’s Suanders and Consorte put together a comedy video about the role of LGS in the world, which they prepared themselves by the way. Along with the video, entertainment included a song in Hindi by LGS sophomore Roshini Givergis and a modern dance by LGS sophomore Theressa Eliscar. The evening closed with LGS students presenting their initiatives to gain support from those who might be interested. Overall, it was friendly get-together.
