Deanery Connect Session Feedback: 1 Sept 2011

ignatius Announcements, Events, Faculty Events, Undergraduate, Wellness

At the recent Deanery Connect Session held on 1 Sept 2011, chaired by Assoc Prof T.C. Chang, students who participated in the open dialogue provided valuable insights and feedback into how FASS could ‘enhance student life’.

It is in this spirit that the notes of the session will be posted here for students’ viewing. Hopefully, other students who have yet to participate in such sessions would see the benefits of doing so, and come forward to share their views.

We look forward to having the continued support of FASS students at the upcoming Deanery Connect Sessions (next: 3 Oct 2011).
