This year, Building K on Stadscampus was the backdrop for our New Year\u2019s reception. More than 800 colleagues raised their glass to a splendid 2025.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We began with a heartfelt thank-you to all retirees and emeriti of 2024. After that, we learnt more about the four new vice-rectors through a number of video fragments. Viona Daelemans (ADMCOM) interviewed Herwig Leirs about his first 100 days as rector, which he summarised as \u2018very interesting\u2019. \u2018I\u2019m particularly impressed by the huge amount of \u00a0enthusiasm of all employees and the good support provided by all services and departments,\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Femme Swinnen (ADSAS) did an outstanding job presenting the reception programme, which culminated in a special karaoke rendition of Sweet Caroline<\/em>, sung by Xenia Geysemans (Pastoral Care). Everyone took particular pleasure in loudly singing along with the \u2018Ho-ho-ho\u2019s\u2019 in what became Sweet UAntwerpen<\/em>.

Afterwards, the foyer of Building K filled up for drinks, refreshments and general merriment. A 10 out of 10 for atmosphere and fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
