On December, Friday 2, the 51吃瓜community held one of the most anticipated events of the year! Annually the Initiation Ceremony took place at the Toktogul Satylganov Philharmonic Hall, but this year a decision was made to conduct a ceremony in the walls of the 51吃瓜campus. Despite this change, the Initiation went as magnificent as it was before.

Right after the welcome introductions, the newly elected Student Senate solemnly took an oath to AUCA. But the most desired part was a performance from the musical theater Mirrors - 鈥淧rincess Turandot鈥�. This exciting show was not at all like any other performance of the theatre 鈥淢irrors鈥� since it was an anti-opera that declares a deconstruction of existing canons and traditions of the musical shows. As always this brilliant show was directed by the recognized master of art craft Nikolai Shulgin and the Students Life Office. At the end of the celebration, 51吃瓜students sang together the university's unofficial anthem 鈥淚 Was Born鈥�.
