Within a few hours of graduation IMS started to empty, and the busy rush of the last few weeks helping students' finish their research document, participating in oral defences, getting report cards and diplomas ready, ... all made for an exhausted weekend.
Extra photos can be found on the IMS website.
Students went back by bus(es) to Benin, Guinea, Mali and regional Burkina; train to Ivory Coast, and car to other areas (motorbike for the Ouaga student). It got pretty lonely going back to work the following week and only finding the skeleton cleaning staff. I've got lots of ends to finish off before preparing for the rounds of meetings I have January and February, and my trip home for furlough in March!!!
