The year is well and truly coming to the end with exams now all but in the past and Christmas/holidays to enjoy!

SUITS has had a great year with our last two events, the Trivia Night and End of Year Dinner, being a great success. Trivia night packed out with a strong crowd of after-assessment drinkers, pre-exam procrastinators and students from all over the uni. Many a free drink was given away and with the final group winners walking away with 5 free movie passes at the end. Many thanks to all SUITS members who helped out on the night and with the questions. We will undoubtedly be running more Trivia nights next year., photos from the night to come soon.

The annual SIT End Of Year Dinner took place a few weeks ago with a great attendance from both alumni and current students. There were glowing reports of the years activities from acting head of IT, Alan Fekete, Professor Judy Kay, Alumni president Mark Webb as well as SUITS new president Steven Merity.It was a great dinner and great opportunity for students to interact with some of the IT Alumni!

Stay tuned for up-coming details of SUITS O Week activities for 2010, discussion forums for next year and updates of planed SUITS events next year.

Until then good luck for exams and have a great holiday!
