We Also Have Fun!

Most of the full-time staff of CTI
CTI's annual staff party took place on Tuesday 5 July at a venue known for its natural beauty: Falaise Rouge, near the village of Ferney. From this vantage point, the view over the bay of Vieux Grand Port was simply magnificent. One was reminded that exactly 201 years ago, French General Decaen must have watched with some jubilation from this very same point as his forces decimated those of the British - the only time during the Napoleonic wars that the French managed to defeat the British.

Sega dancing for digestion
Recalling CTI's achievements during the past 18 months, our Executive Director reminded all present of the excellent financial performance of the Institute and the various milestones we came across as we moved campus (December 2010), conducted our first intake (February 2011), and inaugurated our new premises (March 2011). "None of these would have been possible without your active commitment and participation," he told those present, "and I wish to thank you from the bottom of my heart." He announced on the same occasion, that following representations made by the Head of the Management faculty, Mrs Christel Ramloll had been promoted to Senior Lecturer with immediate effect.

Some of the organising committee
The remainder of the day was spent in various team-building and relaxing activities, fuelled by an excellent paella.
