Minggu Mesra Mahasiswa 2023
Programme Information:
The whole thing was pulled and prepared as part of Universiti Teknologi Malaysia's new students' orientation week. I was assigned the duties of looking after the first-year students for five days during their orientation sessions while serving as one of the college facilitators for the Kolej Rahman Putra Committee.
Graduate Attributes:
1. Communication Skills:
I'd say that my ability to communicate with others has improved in terms of interpersonal skills. Not only did I have the guts to start the conversation, but I was also able to speak with another individual without stuttering or anything, therefore I consider that to be a success for my skills as a communicator.
2. Leadership and Teamworking:
Being a facilitator automatically makes us responsible towards the students, which means the responsibilities of taking care of their movements and health and also taking care of their time management are my job scope for those five days. For that, I have to learn and observe how to manage the students in a good manner while also being able to have good teamwork with the other facilitator so the program goes smoothly.
Position / Role in this Programme:
Facilitator
Mini Report:
The Minggu Mesra Mahasiswa 2023 program took place primarily at Dewan Sultan Iskandar, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai, Johor Bahru, from October 1–5, 2023. Every college has a representative, like myself, who represents KRP. As such, me and the rest of the KRP facilitators are in charge of looking after the students who have registered with Kolej Rahman Putra, and likewise happens for the other colleges.
Self-Reflection:
The things I can conclude from volunteering this program is that firstly, the experience is unexplainable as it is not something you can learn and experience via online or whatsoever, the experience itself gave a big impact towards myself. I learned a lot of things throughout those five days, i even made new companies and even increase my interpersonal skills which may came in handy during my working days. Not to forget, engaging with the staff from UTM made me realized on there are so many people who worked hard on make the event happened smoothly. I believe that every successful events or programme theres laying a good teammates who works out their blood sweat tears in order to achieve their goals seamlessly.
