One of the challenges of distance learning is that it’s not always easy to meet up with fellow students. Last week Jeffrey Henderson and Julie Beardsell of the student council met in Amsterdam in The Netherlands. It was great to discuss individual progress on the SMC program and exchange ideas relating to the SMC Student Council face-to-face.
One of the ideas discussed is how fellow students can arrange to meet each other in their own regions. We’re a diverse group but still have a need to meet one another in person to help solidify bonds. So think about how you can reach out to other students, create some bonds of your own and possibly physically meet up. It was found to be both very personally motivating and a cause for celebration and something to share with other students.
If you would like to host an SMC gathering for your region or act as a regional group leader, let the student council know by sending an email to swissmc-sc@hotmail.com and we will make an announcement.
We wish to formalize a structure where regional leaders interested in taking the lead on initiatives would help bring students in their region together. The SMC sees immediate need for groups in the Middle East, Asia, India, Europe, Africa and the Mediterranean, other groups are possible as well, just let us know what you are interested in and we will post your name so that others in your region can get a hold of you.
Together we can build a strong SMC student community but that starts with us all and the efforts we each put in, so don’t be shy! Join us in a big cheer for the SMC – “Prost!”
Julie Beardsell, Jeffrey Henderson
