HSE Graduation Party: A Step-by-Step Guide

On 20th June HSE invites all graduates, students and teachers to the Star Wars themed University Graduation Party at Space Moscow. This is without a doubt, the best party of the year. But to get the most out of it, remember to follow these few vital steps.  

Entrance

Step 1: Buy your ticket in advance for 750 roubles. If you don’t manage to get one, don’t despair, tickets will be on sale at the door.

Step 2: Don’t forget to print out your ticket (if you bought it in advance)! We can’t confirm the validity of your booking without the code on your print out.

Step 3: Bring your passport. The club has the right to check your papers and not allow you to enter without them.

Dress code

Step 1: Wear something fashionable but don’t forget the nights can be cold. No one wants to get ill in summer.

Step 2: Wear comfortable shoes. You have a long night of dancing ahead. The brave and experienced can wear high heels - we’re expressing our admiration in advance.

Step 3: Save your Darth Vader and Princess Leia costumes for the Christmas party. Characters from Star Wars will be greeting you and it would be annoying to get lost among them.

Bar

Step 1: At the entrance, pick up your free cocktail voucher - for individual collection only.

Step 2: Clutch the voucher to your bosom, go to the bar, order your drink, give your voucher to the barman, get your free cocktail and drink it.

Step 3: Feel the effects of the cocktail. Dance until dawn - there’ll be wild music from the Jedi DJ and space videos and a show to fire up your desire to let your hair down and party, party, party! And it’s allowed.

Nice bonuses

Step 1: Listen to congratulations from the leaders. The ‘Elders’ will arrive around 23.00 and they’ll tell you something cosmic.

Step 2: Put your name on the list of university benefactors. There’ll be a stand at the party where you can make a contribution to the university for development - just like at Cambridge or Harvard.

Step 3: Join the contest to win prizes. The evening is full of surprises, from the car manufacturers Jaguar for example. And that’s just for starters.
