Dear Rector Monar,

We, the students of Voltaire Promotion, are gravely concerned about the announced plan for the Closing Ceremony in Bruges. Offering only 240 seats for guests at the ceremony means that only about 1/3 of your students will be able to invite family or friends to the event. Given the clear desire of many students to bring guests, we are disappointed that not everyone who wants to will be able to share this important moment with their loved ones. We do not understand why such a limited format has been chosen, and believe that it should be possible to organize this event in a venue where the whole promotion in Bruges can participate and everyone who wishes to can invite up to two guests.

Therefore, we ask you, Rector Monar, and the organizing committee, to reconsider this decision in light of the wishes of your students, and to organize a closing ceremony that will make us all proud to be part of this great institution.

Yours sincerely
