Dear Members,

It is with great pride that I welcome you to Hilary Term with the Oxford University European Affairs Society. We kick off the term with our traditional Cocktails d’Or to be held in full style, and follow up with speakers from such varying fields as media, finance and sport.

We are already looking forward to hearing from Bonnie Greer, Head Trustee at the British Museum, and Sven Giegold, Member of the European Parliament for the Green Party, amongst others. We’ll also be hosting a journalism panel later in the term, bringing together various figures who have worked in European media, to offer a diverse viewpoint on the evolving nature of European culture and politics.

Of course, we also know that our members enjoy the lighter side of Europe: as well as our traditional EAS Food Fest, held in tangent with more than 10 other regional societies from across the university, we’re also hosting Cocktail evening to kick off the term and a Spanish Night midway through. Of course, the piece de resistance this term is the Annual Gala Ball, ‘Danse de La Lune‘. The first Oxford society ball to be held at the Randolph, this promises to be a night of extravagant dining and exquisite dancing.

So please keep an eye on our new website and termcard, and see what you fancy; if you have any questions about the upcoming term, or wish to have dinner with a speaker previous to their talk, drop me a line at president@oueas.net and I will do all that I can to help!

I look forward to meeting you at one of our events this term.

European love,

Tabassum Rasheed

President
