Wednesday 18th March around 12.40pm. Just the time someone would have gotten the shock of his life realizing two silhouettes on his room window. Fortunately there was no such episode as there is currently no one living in the first apartment in C3’s C Block J Such is the allure of our magnificent college that President Treusch and his guest Dr. Auma Obama couldn’t resist its irresistible pull (and they thought it was their choice;). True to our college’s cordial nature we received our guests with the door wide open, sure that the view from the inside was waaaay better.
College 3’s special visitor from Kenya Dr. Auma Obama, Project Coordinator of the humanitarian organization CARE joined President Treusch, his guests, the College Masters and some students for lunch in the servery. Experiencing the cuisine and atmosphere of a normal Jacobs University mealtime, she engaged in light hearted table talk with people of different nationalities, characteristic of this school.
After a lovely lunch she was taken on a short tour of our beautiful home starting at the loud poster wall announcing the activities of C3’s busy residents; through the QSA; the 3rd floor of C Block (Big up guyz!, your decorations still look like they were put there yesterday); the common room and finally to the ground floor triple apartment in B block where she had some coffee and a chat with her hosts, Lidet, Jessica and Levken.
At the end of the tour, our guests only had positive things to say about our college on its homeliness and commendable cleanliness. Slowly the ripple effects of our little college are travelling past the porters’, we just got one more fan in Kenya.
Kasyo.
