As the year is coming to end I thought that in the newsletter we could have regards from everyone on the board
Helloo! It’s me, Julia, and if you don’t know who I am, I’m the Head of International and Masters’ Affairs in the board of PT and also the person with the strange last name.
Last week went very nicely for me, I attended a few events, where I got to see some new as well as familiar faces, and spent the weekend with some of my lovely friends. In addition to all of that, I have been enjoying the amazing fall weather and worked very hard on my master’s courses.
Here is my video, or videos, of the week, which is a playlist of memes because memes are the BEST
News from the board
The bord is excited that restrictions are being removed and so the board is planning the rest of this year’s events. Also, the application for the former of the board for next year will be opening at the start of October so stay tuned!
