Hawaiian-themed Party Offers an Evening of Music, Dancing and Connection

Wittenborg’s Summer Jam was a huge success, gathering almost 200 people at The Old Irish Pub in Apeldoorn on 5 June. Students and staff took the chance to celebrate together before the school’s summer break, with food, drinks, music, dance and plenty of socialising.  

Wittenborg Digital Content and Community Administrator Allegra Zazzaro described the Summer Jam’s atmosphere as “fantastic”. She added that she really enjoys helping organise events and ensuring they run smoothly. “It’s always heartwarming to see students having fun and spending quality time with their friends. I interacted with many participants and received a lot of positive feedback about our events overall. I love talking to students and hearing their perspectives; it helps us to understand what they’re looking for and gather any suggestions they might have.” 

Marianna Aghajanian, who is studying for a master’s degree in Digital Marketing and Communication, liked the party’s Hawaiian theme. “The event was very relaxed and summery, which was a nice break from our regular routines. The decorations, music and overall atmosphere made it feel like a real celebration, and it was great to see students and staff just having a good time together.” 

In her view, events like this are really important for students and help them connect with each other. “It’s a chance to meet people from different programmes and backgrounds, which doesn’t always happen during normal class hours. For me personally, since I live in a different city from Apeldoorn, it can be harder to feel involved in student life sometimes. That’s why I really appreciated the opportunity to come together with other students, chat, laugh and make some new friends outside of my class or specialisation. It made me feel more connected to the Wittenborg community,” Marianna emphasised.
