Orientation for Foundation Students (May intake 2011) + Greenhorn Project

Greetings!

Semesters for degree and foundation students are about to come to an end. And a new batch of foundation students in Architectural studies is about to begin their sem and classes soon. You guys are really welcomed to join our ucsi-architecture-big-family! :)

An orientation was held for the freshmen in the MPH South Wing on last Wednesday. A booth with some outstanding works and models from the students was displayed to represent School of Architecture and Built Environment. The works and models show how and what an architectural students actually work on. And of course, it shows how interesting and challenging this course is.

The excellent works from foundation and degree students:

The hall was flooded with newbies and their parents.

The orientation began with live band performance from the School of Music. It was pretty awesome.

And the event was followed by a speech from the Vice Chancellor, Dr Robert Bong.

Dr Jimmy Mok, the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Built Environment was also invited to give a speech about FEABE.

What followed the next was speech from our devoted Dean of School of Architecture and Built Environment, Mr Zani. He has briefly explained what is about the course Architecture Technology and Interior Architecture in UCSI. A few events of SABE and competitions which were taken part by the students last year were also highlighted.

New students were likewise given some talks about the campus, school system and so on. And UCSI new website was introduced and was officially launched. After all these formal talks and introduction, it was finally game time! :D

People visited our booth during the break. ;)

Informal brief for our juniors who are taking foundation before we transferring them to the North Wing. It was quite surprised and sad with the number of students who shown up in this Orientation. It was only around 20 of them and we expected more. Do hope that there will be more students joining when the classes start.

Yea. A great photo of the juniors and seniors. :)

In the afternoon, students were transferred to North Wing for the briefing of their classes and course selection.

After that, it was the big plan for our orientation, which was the Greenhorn project. Each junior was so lucky to be adopted by a senior to guide them in their new environment of studies.

Juniors were so happy to get a senior. And here go the special thank to those seniors who were trying to help out and involving in the Greenhorn project although they were dying for the Final exam. *Claps for them* The spirits shown by them have definitely met the objective of the Greenhorn project as we should help one another because it is better to give than to receive! :)

Once again, good luck for those seniors who are having final exam. While for the juniors, welcome to UCSI! Do hope that you guys will fall in love with architecture and enjoy with it. :)

See you guys around! :)
