Lyceum and Rendezvous Inauguration-2019


The Department of International Studies and History held the inaugural ceremony of two of their co-curricular verticals - Lyceum and Rendezvous - last week on June 26. While Lyceum is the Postgraduate Association of the Department, Rendezvous is the Foreign Student Cell. The ceremony was held in Room no. 911 of the Central Block of the Hosur Road campus of Christ (Deemed to be University).
The programme was organised by the second year students of Master's in International Studies since the function also doubled up as a welcome ceremony hosted by the batch for the Fresher batch of the postgraduate programme. The event, which was hosted by Palak Arora, a second year MAIS student, began with the lighting of the lamp, accompanied by an invocation song performed by second year MAIS students. 

Dr. Madhumati Deshpande, Coordinator, Department of International Studies and History, addressed the gathering with a welcome note followed by the inaugural address by Fr. Jose C.C., Pro-Vice -Chancellor, Christ (Deemed to be University). 

The students and members of the faculty were then addressed by Aakansha Jaimini, a second year MAIS student who briefly explained the agenda, workings and events organised by Lyceum. Similarly, Bishakha Shrestha explained the objectives and workings of Rendezvous.

The informal part of the event was made complete by dances and singing performances by students from both the batches of the department - the first and second year of MAIS. The fresher batch of MAIS were handed out mobile pop-sockets, which were branded by the Christ logo and a mention of 'MAIS Batch of 2019-2021' on the front-side, as a token of welcome by the second year MAIS students.  The programme was concluded with a brief Vote of Thanks, extended by the second year MAIS student Lesley Amol Simeon.

Internship Experience - ICWA

Indian Council of World Affairs is an organization where research is given most priority. As an extension of Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), the officials of the organization are senior bureaucrats and retired ambassadors. Here, the importance is given to creative research where a researcher is given the utmost freedom to pursue the topic and area for undertaking research that interests them.
