MB ChB Newsletter – academic year 2015-16 No. 1

Welcome

Welcome back to the University to all students in Years 2-5 and a very warm welcome to all our new Year 1 students. We had an opportunity to meet them all at the “almost a tradition” get together in the exhibition hall of @Bristol, on Thursday evening last (24th). The evening started with Professor Sarah Purdy welcoming all and handing out prizes to 2nd and 3rd year students for their achievements in Years 1 and 2 last year (see details below).

Professor David Cahill then introduced and read the Bristol Promise and all those present joined in with enthusiasm and feeling; making it a moving event. Staff and students then took the opportunity to mingle and get to know each other.
