Anniversary Party

Prep: Varies

Official Audio Prompt

Three teachers discussed how to celebrate the mathematics department's 10-year anniversary. One suggested a popular Greek restaurant downtown, saying it has a great atmosphere and a private room perfect for the whole department. But another teacher pointed out that it's expensive and far from campus, which could be inconvenient for staff with evening classes. They agreed not to use the cramped and dull math building restaurant but looked for a better on-campus option. The third teacher recommended the Business Building's dining room. It's spacious, newly renovated, and has a nice city view-perfect for a cheerful celebration. Everyone liked the idea and started thinking about who to invite. At first, they considered just faculty members but then decided to include alumni, especially those from the first graduating class, since they were part of the department's early years. They also talked about whether guests should be allowed to bring partners. One teacher felt it's better to keep the event focused on the math community so people can share memories comfortably. They agreed to limit plus-ones to avoid overcrowding and keep the atmosphere friendly and personal. In the end, they decided to invite current faculty and selected alumni, book the Business Building dining room, and prepare a guest list by next week so they can start sending invitations. Everyone was excited to make the celebration meaningful and well-organized.
