International and local students and staff gathering at the International Student Interaction Day 2017
Department of International Student Services (DISS) organised the International Student Interaction Day 2017 on 28 October 2017 at Sungai Long Campus.
Present at the event were DISS (Sungai Long) Head Rospiah binti Masilin, representatives from various faculties and administrative departments, international and local students from the UTAR Kampar and Sungai Long Campus as well as some exchange students.
Welcoming the guests at the event, Rospiah said, “The International Student Interaction Day gathers our international students, staff and academic members from both Kampar and Sungai Long Campus to establish stronger bonding and interaction. It is a great pleasure for us to provide a platform like this to better improve the connections among our international students as well as with the local staff and students.”
Mark David Paul from Pakistan, who is also an Actuarial Science student said, “I have been actively involved in the international student events as they are precious opportunities for me to gather with other international students whom I can barely meet during usual days inside and outside the campus. These events are very important as they enable the international students to not only form closer ties, but also to share our problems and help one another.”
An exchange student, Wei Li-An from Tunghai University said, “This is an eye-opener for me to be able to meet peers from different backgrounds. I truly appreciate this kind of platform that allows us to learn more about one another and form closer friendships with international and local students from both the campuses.”
International Student Interaction Day 2017 encompassed a wide range of activities including ice-breaking, cake-cutting ceremony, video presentation, singing performances, lucky draw and games such as charades and bingo.
