Nina and Ellaine<\/a> from International Student Services (ISS) provided me a brief report on the mid-semester Soccer and BBQ event they held recently. More such events are in the pipeline!<\/p>\n

\n

It was a beautiful day to be outdoors last Friday (26th September), and the ISS<\/a> mid-semester Soccer and BBQ event couldn\u2019t have landed on a better one.<\/p>\n

Over 130 students and staff came together to soak up the sun, enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch, and take a well-earned break from the busy semester.<\/p>\n

The event buzzed with energy and laughter. Some kicked off their shoes for a friendly game of soccer, while others danced along to the music, played outdoor games, or simply relaxed and caught up with friends.<\/p>\n

Whether you were on the field or just enjoying a good chat in the shade, there was something for everyone.<\/p>\n

Taking a little time outdoors with good company and fun activities is a great way to de-stress, boost your well-being, and top up on some much-needed vitamin D.<\/p>\n

The ISS<\/a> team was thrilled to see so many of you there and truly appreciated everyone who joined us. Thank you for making it such a vibrant and memorable day!<\/p>\n

[Editor’s note: ISS have joined the Student Life team, so expect to see more of their content and events here on BetterU – what a great way to start!]<\/p>\n
