In October, the department got together for a picnic in Whetstone Park welcoming everyone to the new academic year.
In November and December, we had student research presentations (Including this one from Lindon Dedvukaj!)

In December, we had a hot cocoa social in Oxley hall.
On the last day of classes we continued the tradition of having waffles in the kitchen.
