CONVOCATION 2009

Convocation was held on 27th June 2009, at Kohinoor Continental. This year we had 54 graduates walking for their Associates and Bachelors Degree. This event was organized by the students graduation committee. Members of the Graduation Committee: Aliasgar (Me), Roosevelt, Sanjay, Nishit, Sunaina, Ankit, Harvey, Calvin, Saba, Wren, Faiza, Ryan, Radhika, Dikshika & Nikhil.

Make no mistake about it, you are dumb. You’re a group of incredibly, well-educated dumb people. I was there. We all were there. You’re barely functional. There are some screw-ups headed your way. I wish I could tell you that there was a trick to avoiding the screw-ups, but the screw-ups, they’re a-coming for ya. It’s a combination of life being unpredictable, and you being super dumb

“I am terminally sentimental about graduations.They are almost as much a step into the unknown as funerals—though I  was assured, there is life after graduation.”











FLAORS OF INDIA (FOOD FESTIVAL) 2009

This year our food festival was based on the INDIAN theme. It was mine idea supported by Anuradha Ma'am to organize the food festival. Food festival was held on 25th June. We had guests who had come from CHAMPLAIN college, USA. I thank Dr.Michelle Miller, Kathy Lynn, Gary, Betsy Bolu, Dr. Maxey for giving us their time out of their very busy schedule to attend the food festival. Food Festival was organised two days prior to the convocation ceremony.

THINC FOOTBALL LEAGUE 2009

This was the first event organised by me as a Cultural Coordinator.
The tournament was held on 18th, 20th & 22nd of june, 2009. This was an intra college football tournment where we had 5 teams participating.
CHAMPLAIN 1
CHAMPLAIN 2
YCMOU 1
YCMOU 2
IGNOU


Teams line up before the start of the final match of the THINC FOOTBALL LEAGUE. The 2 teams from Champlain college were in finals, it was Seniors v/s Juniors. The underdogs Champlain 2 that was my team we won against Champlain 1 in the League matches. That was a huge blow to Wren & team. Anyways it is a sport, if one wins the other has to loose. That day was our's when we won which was unexpected.
Result: Champlain 1 won the tournament which was the strongest team.

INVESTITURE CEREMONY 2009 - 2010

APRIL 1, 2009


“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, then you are a leader.”
On the fine evening of 31st March, 2009, deserving young candidates of our college were bestowed with the responsibility of leading their College from the front with their commitment, confidence and competence. The Investiture Ceremony thus marked the inaugural of the junior and senior student council for the academic session 2009-10.

An energetic and message- filled song by the College choir appointed the ambience, as it were for the significant ceremony. “Saathi haath badhhana” was the song chosen, appropriately motivational and marking also the commemoration of 100 years of our college.


I was appointed cultural coordinator of the college for the year 2009 - 2010. It is an amazing feeling to be a cultural cordinator of the college.

Thank all of you for being there for me. Thank you for ignoring my faults and encouraging my merits.
