MShed event report

What a fantastic evening! The MShed is an incredible venue and proved popular as ever last night. Hundreds of new PG students showed up for the PG Reception event. First, we were treated to a walk around the exhibit halls, then upstairs for free drinks. the Student's Union were present in full force and gave a series of talks. All evening, the sound of jazz filled the air thanks to the live band.

The room was packed for the series of welcome talks.
