College International Evening, 19 October 2006

An Oíche Idirnáisiúnta, 19 Deireadh Fómhair 2006

There was a large attendance in the Seomra Caidrimh on Thursday, 19 October for the College International Evening.  The approximately 20 students who are on study visits from partner colleges abroad were the guests of honour. They come from European colleges such as the University of Warsaw, The University of Vilnius, IUFM de Versailles, Paris, IUFM d'Orléans/ Tours, the College of Education, Kecskemet, Hungary, University of Chico, University of Northern Colorado, and Merrimack College, Boston. They were joined by the second-year students from St Patrick's College who will be going on study visits in Semester II.

The visiting students brought delicacies such as Breton crepes, Spanish omlettes, Polish chocolates and sweets, Hungarian cakes etc.

College students provided excellent traditional Irish music, while students danced Irish gigs and reels, Polish waltzes, and American traditional dances.  There were also beautiful songs from Europe and the US. The evening was organised by Bernie and Mary from the International Office, with generous support from Paul Knox, SU International Officer.  The President of the College joined the celebrities and Hugh Gash and Uáitéar Mac Gearilt of the International Affairs Committee attended.  This International Evening was one of the most successful and enjoyable in the 6 or 7 year history of the event, which takes place once every semester.
