On the evening of Monday, October 24th, 40 PhD students turned up for their Fall Social at Khow Thai, exclusively reserved for this event. During seven rounds of rowdy “speed-meeting,” students who’ve been in the same ֱ department for years without bumping into each other, were engaged in multiple, quick, friendly conversations between which they cruised the restaurant for random seating, in a Musical Chairs game of sorts. One student said, “it was loads of fund, and I loved it.” Thai tea, Pad Thai Noodles, and Mango Sticky Rice were popular menu items, and students poked fun at one another when it came time to reflect via post-its added to a wall-of-memories, on the most impressive stories told that night- mostly in good taste. Thank you, Kal, for reading aloud some of the notes!
