UPDATES

Convocation will be on 30 May 2009. This is the first time Convocation will be held in Bukit Jalil Campus instead of Sheraton hotel! How exciting!

This is for the following reasons:

1. To showcase the campus, allow parents to experience the environment their child has been studying in and such. Also, nostalgia!

2. To built a stronger rapport between faculty, administration and students

3. To develop the sense of belonging in students

To make this a success, the administration will need a lot of manpower and we would like to recruit 25 ushers to help out on 30th of May.

Breakfast and lunch will be provided, along with a special chance to be treated like a staff and allowed entry to the staff lounge, and an opportunity to experience the grandeur and be part of Convocation.

At the moment we can't confirm any incentives for volunteers, but we really do need your help to make the convocation of our seniors a special one.

We all reap the fruits of the contributions our seniors made to IMU and this is a small chance for us to give something back in appreciation. To volunteer, please email your name and contact details to imusrc@gmail.com or contact Jodie (VP Med) directly at 014-9215715.

Thanks!

Loads of love and cheers,
Zia Shah
