Alumni share their recipes for success with new students

Welcome to all our new students from the alumni community.

A memory of home, an expression of your cultural identity, a bonding moment, a ritual... the preparation and sharing of food is about more than simply fuelling your body but is a way to bind a community together.

Thanks to popular demand, the gift of an #Our³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ wooden spoon to new students as they arrive at the College has become a new ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ tradition. While the spoon itself is great, what makes the gift truly special is the recipes, memories, good wishes and advice from alumni that come along with it: a warm welcome to the community from those who have gone before. 

How to get involved
