A good crowd came to celebrate (or perhaps to escape) the beginning of the semester on a lovely late-summer afternoon in East Van.
Faculty and both graduate and undergraduate students converged on Salsbury Drive to eat delicious Chilean empanadas and drink fine wine. Many thanks to Alec Dawson and Alejandra Bronfman for their help with the food.
Unlike last year, sadly this time there is no video record of the proceedings. But the photograph below shows one young man in particular having a great time.
The academic year has now officially begun!
