Okay, so you’re a new postgraduate student and you’ve just arrived in one of the most exciting cities in the world to start your journey at Westminster Business School…It’s day 2 of orientation – how are you feeling? Having gone through the experience myself just a couple of years ago I’m guessing something along the lines of excitement, a few nerves, a little overwhelmed, happiness, adrenaline rushing through your body and possibly feeling a little bit homesick…All perfectly normal and have no doubts – EVERYONE will be in the same boat as you!
Our team here at the Business School are ready to help you feel at home right from the start – with welcome events and social evenings, induction lectures, Freshers’ Fair, Student Helpers and now, the super exciting (drum roll please…) ‘Getting to Know London’ #TreasureHunt – just a bit of fun, a bit of a laugh and a great way to get to know the local area and make new friends.
So how did it work?
Each team was given a map, 13 clues and a set of rules and sent off into the great unknown (well okay, maybe the slightly unknown)…They snapped some fantastic photos and beautiful selfies, and posted them all over social media (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) with the hashtag #TreasureHunt. Our social media guru, Meral Crifasi, then followed everyone’s progress and anyone who got 5 or more clues went straight into a prize draw….
“Who were the winners?” – I hear you cry!
The winners, ladies and gentlemen, of the very first Westminster Business School postgraduate #TreasureHunt are TEAM JOHN BERT MACATO! (Round of applause!)
We have also decided (because we’re just so lovely) that everyone who took part should be given a FREE CHIPOTLE VOUCHER – Thanks Chipotle!! For those of you who don’t know, Chipotle sells seriously yummy Mexican food and is located just down the road from us on Baker Street. SO, free lunch = happy campers 🙂 To collect your voucher/s please email Jeni and Joe on PGApplicantOfficers@westminster.ac.uk to arrange a time for collection!
Congrats everyone and thanks for sharing the fun – LOVE this time of year!
Don’t forget – if you want to see more photos, visit our Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
Best,
Jeni (Postgraduate Applicant Officer)

This is a great idea for some light hearted fun with a group of new friends and the #treasurehunt idea on social media has got me thinking about ideas for our own events!
