MyMoji Recruitment Showcase

Participants visiting the clubs and societies’ booths

A total of 49 clubs and societies gathered together for the first time for a mass recruitment drive known as “MyMoji Recruitment Showcase” from 6 to 17 June 2016 at the Dewan Tun Dr Ling Liong Sik, UTAR Kampar Campus.

Jointly organised by the Department of Student Affairs (DSA) and Student Representative Council (SRC) 2015/2016, the inaugural drive was in line with the university’s efforts in providing a supportive and conducive learning environment for students to realise their full potential. It was named MyMoji to reflect various expressions, which akin to emojis depict the participants’ reactions when visiting the booths.

According to Organising Chairperson Liew Siong Hian, it served as a platform for students to register themselves in clubs and societies of their interest, and also a way to embrace them as part of the university’s vibrant student community.

“Joining the activities of the clubs and societies will educate and benefit the members in the long run. As these clubs and societies are run voluntarily by the students, new members will also be able to kindle a sense of leadership within them as they journey further with and work alongside senior members. The decisions they make will teach them to be self-reliant,” said Liew, a Marketing student.

The recruitment drive drew visitors who enriched themselves via exhibitions and mini games, martial arts demonstrations, and performances.
