The 4th KESS Engineering Dinner: A Night of Connection and Cuisine

The evening provided a vital opportunity for students from different disciplines and year groups to connect. Conversations flowed as easily as the dinner service, with first-year students finding mentors in seniors, and peers discussing everything from challenging University life to future career aspirations. These informal interactions are crucial for building the support networks that help students thrive. 2 Faculty members were also present, not as instructors, but as colleagues and fellow engineers. These interactions demystify the lecturer-student relationship and often lead to valuable mentorship and research opportunities. The success of this event underscores the importance of a strong engineering community. A wonderful faculty life, filled with events like these, enhances the student experience, provides opportunities for growth, and ultimately contributes to higher student satisfaction and development.
