ESPRIT 2006-07

Esprit, the annual national level fest conducted by the BBM Department of Christ College, will be held on September 1 and 2. With 15 colleges from across the country having participated in the event last year, the department hopes to make it even bigger this year.

"Corporate" being the underlying theme of Esprit, the event aims at creating a feel of the corporate world and all the events are thus directed towards this theme. Among the events lined up for the fest are: Crisis Management, Finance, Stock, Quiz, Marketing, Best Manager and Team Event. The event will be judged by relevant industry experts. This year, the department proposes to add a cultural event too, to help the participants unwind after their business grind.

Kristu Jayanthi College organised "Corpus '06," a two-day book festival recently. A college newsletter "Quadrangle" was released on the occasion.
