BTT Social | Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering Technology | Seneca Students

The event was fun, interactive, and casual. Its main aim was to strengthen the BTT community by connecting students and faculty from all four semesters, to mingle and get to know each other better. The event kicked off with music from Sister Sledge’s “We are Family” and a slide show with the flags representing the diversity of countries where the students and faculty are from. Other fun activities included faculty dance-off, students dance-off, greetings from SIA, faculty, and student advisors. There was also a fun Q&A session and students won prizes for each correct answer that they gave.

Special recognition and appreciation were given to our outgoing student adviser, Joel Colesberry, and a warm welcome to Thadchayini Kanagasundaram (Shani) our incoming student adviser. Program Coordinator and host, Carlene Blackwood-Brown, encouraged the students to stay focused on their goals and always reach out for support when necessary. She also reminded them that they were not alone and there was strong support in the BTT and Seneca communities.

Students and faculty introduced themselves and the semester they are in or teaching in. They got the opportunity to connect with each other to share their experiences and future goals. It was great observing the upper-level semester students interacting and sharing their experiences about the courses as well as giving tips and tricks. This really uplifted the students’ spirits.

Food and drinks were provided for all the attendees as well as souvenirs from ITAS and Seneca Alumni.

Overall it was a very positive and encouraging event.
