Rendezvous was a great experience with our dance being the most anticipated event of the evening. The dance team participated in all the sporting events and although they were exhausted and injured, they gave their best. All in all, the event was a great success. All the experiences and challenges we faced, strengthened our bond with each other. It was one of the best memories we made. The biggest challenge was getting people together to practice and maintain the Covid protocols. But as we all know, where there is a will, there is a way. Thank you, Westford, for such a wonderful experience.

My experience in Participating at Westford Rendezvous and being a member of the organizing team was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It allowed me to meet students I would not have met otherwise, particularly in other classes. It has also given me the opportunity to take a more active position on campus, and serving as a student leader has gave me leadership and professional skills that will benefit me even after I graduate. The sports event was not only having sports on that day but it was a mixture of a sporting & cultural fest. Thank you, WUC, for putting up a fantastic Westford Rendezvous.

We as fashion students and designers were extremely overwhelmed and excited preparing for the Rendezvous Fashion Show. The designers got the chance to set the ramp on fire with retro influences. The hustle of designing, styling, music, model casting, and makeup provided us with a rare opportunity to work with creative students and gave us insight into the fashion industry. It was a pleasure to be a part of the Westford Rendezvous and we look forward to more upcoming and exciting events!
