Events

Our students are split over a wide range of locations and research backgrounds so we try to organize a range of informational and social events that will help bring members of the department together throughout the year.

These include...

Academic and work-related events

Social events

  • Annual BBQ
  • Sports
  • Excursions
  • Social gatherings

With these events, we aim to increase student participation in the department, while fostering friendships and contacts.

While CLAMPS will remain fiscally responsible each year, it will also try to organize and subsidize as many academic and social events as possible in achieving its goal of increasing student spirit and participation in the department.
