These events have been hugely popular and we would like to make them self-sustaining so they can continue as a regular feature in the College calendar. To enable this, part of the standard ticket cost goes towards sponsoring a student meal. Any monies contributed via the additional donation box, will help us keep future events for our engineering community inclusive for our students.
