Ping Pong Buddies Serves Up Teamwork and Fun

GS students and staff swapped keyboards and mice for paddles and balls during a networking event on October 26.

The event featured five table tennis challenges that tested participants’ coordination, accuracy and teamwork. The challenges included a relay in which participants had to control a ball while taking turns to complete a short run. Pairs also competed to keep the ball in play for as long as possible. In other challenges, players needed pinpoint accuracy as they attempted to hit balls into bottles and egg cartons. 

Ping Pong Buddies highlights the Graduate School’s commitment to promoting student well-being and strengthening connections across the University community. Special thanks go to GS Student Helpers Enola, Jeremy, Mavis, Tibby and Zeeshan Ahmad for helping to design and support the event.
