EAGA for DMU and DMU at EAGA's Heart
Our belief is in the fair and effective running
of a great university that has been made a place where students come
to receive their change.
EAGA for DMU and DMU at EAGA’s heart.
EAGA's Christmas Day Special - 'Jesus Day'
Since
Christmas 2007 EAGA has held Christmas Church services at De Montfort
University’s (DMU) Campus Centre and provide dinner mainly for overseas
students who remain on campus away from their family and loved ones.
The event is entirely funded by EAGA who provide a hot buffet Christmas
dinner with all the trimmings, along with refreshments throughout
the day until the late evening. The event is now a part of DMU’s
calendar. Some students feel home sick at Christmas and EAGA is
there to provide them with the emotional support they need to feel
at home away from home. The students reported that they are very
appreciative of the free Christmas dinner and were made to feel
at home by the friendly and jolly atmosphere created by the EAGA
team. (See event presentation for
Christmas 2009 and
Christmas 2010).
Testimonial: EAGA Helps DMU Student
Over the years, EAGA have welcomed students in engaging the choirs in their academic projects from the likes of video and audio production, and photography, etc. The following is a testimonial from Thomas Norman, a third year student (2010/11): "As a third year student studying Music Tech and Innovation I was
looking to record with a choir for my final year project. I approached
the Gospel choir about working alongside them and they were incredibly
enthused and motivated in helping me achieve my goal for the final year
project. I found that the choir promotes an extremely welcoming tight
knit community and actively went out of their way to insure the standard
of music was exceptional. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the gospel
choir and would recommend it to anyone searching to record with a choir/live
band, it's a truly amazing experience and topped off my third year at
university." |
