WELCOME BACK

My Winter break @UEA_INTL #mybreak

Welcome back to a new term.

Here some of the pics that you tweeted of your Winter

break

Welcome to Students who have just arrived and joined UEA

last week. A special thought for the ones who arrived from
Australia: dont worry the weather is going to be nice, we are
going towards Spring and the good season.

We hope you had an enjoyable time during the break and

you gave a good kick to 2016.
2017 will surely be better. Do you know that in some countries is believed that leap years are bearer of bad luck. And
2016 was a leap year.
But superstition will not help us. The only thing that we can
do is work harder and confidently make sure that we are engaging and put in good efforts to make this year a good one
and fight against this post-truth period, ask for evidence and
think critically: Doubt is the origin of wisdom [R Descartes]
A year that we can look back and say I did my part and I am
pleased with what I did.
Our best wishes for a very successful 2017, full of personal
gratification and satisfaction.
As always we and our Student Support Representatives are
here for you.

sure what hes
