Now that ASFV is over…

This is still way too early in your adventure with WKWSCI. Boy, school hasn’t even begun!

So as some of you might know, we the Wee’s 16th have attempted to rouse some of your interest in running for the 17th Communications & Information Club.

So, what does each portfolio actually entail? We all have fanciful titles, you have heard tehpeng (yes, the President) telling you on several occasions of who we are, what we do, but what exactly do we do? And most importantly, how is the elections conducted?

Stay tuned. We will be telling you more in the time to come. =)

With much love,
Shannon Lim
Your friendly Publications boy.

We’re out for WKWSCIFOC’09!

As one of our possibly biggest event in our calendar year, we’re out for WKWSCIFOC’09 to support our adhoc committee and to get to know our juniors!

6-10 July 2009.

WKWSCIFOC’09: A Song For Viola

A Song For Viola.
6 – 10 July 2009

Please direct all FOC related matters to the FOC blog!

See you there.

WKWSCIFOC’09: A Song for Viola

A SONG FOR VIOLA

It’s a classic whodunit.

A pair of identical twins: two sisters, professional vaudeville singers, wildly popular in the region.

One sister, a heart-stirring songstress; yearns for love and freedom from this vaudevillian cage that binds her.

One sister, with an eye for fame and fortune, charts a path that would bring her fame and fortune.

In a single night, both went missing.

Their disappearance raised a furor; popular the sisters were and the masses clamor for information.

News agencies race to cover this story; any ground gained would mean a significant advantage over their competitors

With only one thought in their minds;

This city is just big enough for one paper.

4 rivaling news agencies.
4 OGs.
Over the next 5 days, they would play for clues that would bring theme closer to the truth: What exactly happened to the sisters?

This summer.
Get ready, pack your bags & have yourselves an awesomtastic good time
WKWSCIFOC: A SONG FOR VIOLA
6 – 10 July 2009
Stay tuned.

HI!!

Hello freshies (or freshies to be)!

It was really nice to see all of you today at the reception. Hope the trip down to (Pulau) NTU and WKWSCI was not in vain, and that you actually enjoyed yourselves. More importantly, we hope that coming down to the school helped to establish good ‘vibes’ for those of you who are seriously considering SCI as your top choice.

Coming to SCI isn’t just about pursuing a degree, or trying to logically deduce what a ‘Degree in Mass Communications’ can do for you. Rather, think for yourselves, how you would like the last four years of your formal education life to play out. Regardless of where you eventually choose to go, if you make the decision to make the most out of where you are, you’ll be set for the experience of a lifetime.

Here in SCI, we work hard, and sometimes often play harder than we work (but we still do well, so no worries there). The coursework is challenging, but as one of our favourite professors likes to put it, “It’s not meant to kill you.” (George, C. 2008) You’ll be stretched, you’ll be terribly busy, but at the end of the day, we hope you walk away terribly satisfied as well.

Sure having a ‘Mass Comm’ degree may not sound as safe, or stable, or predictable, or as career advancing as doing law or accountancy or engineering. But here in SCI, we can assure you that there will no shortages of good life lessons to be learned. By the time you graduate, you’ll be whipped into shape and be as ready, or even more ready, to face the world than some of your other peers may be. (You’ll be a streetwise lot. Here we get some guidance, but we are definitely not sheltered. To put it analogically, you’ll be thrown to the wolves, but you won’t be left to die. Are you scared yet?)

I won’t say being a media and communications student is a walk in the park. It isn’t. You’ll be busy, you’ll bitch complain a lot, you will have many sleepless nights, you will develop an aura of authority, you will learn to question and be questioned, you will learn to stand up for what you believe in, fight for your ideas, and you will learn to see the world in ways that may break your rose-tinted perception of reality.

Are you ready for it?

I hope this hasn’t scared away half of you, but we like to be real, and we want you to make a good choice too. (After all, no one wants to spend 4 years regretting their choice in university applications)

So choose wisely, and for those of you who choose to join us on this path…

WELCOME!

And we’ll see you at WKWSCI FOC 2009.

Liz,
Marketing Communications Executive
