BruBrad Get Together with The Vice-Chancellor

02/03/2011 - The university's International Office held a small gathering with the Brunei students studying in the institution. The event was held in Richmond Building where the students get the opportunity to talk with the international officers and each other.

Teresa Stead, one of the International Officers who are the university's favourite representative to Brunei Darussalam, had the chance to know new students from Brunei and those who are currently in their final years.

The event gave the university's Vice-Chancellor, Mark Cleary, to relieve his memory of Brunei since he used to be a lecturer in the University of Brunei Darussalam.

The function ended by the VC giving a small yet stern speech regarding the students' studies in the university. He urged the students to work hard in their exams and assignments especially the final year students.
