hello again!
now for sure you know i have been quite busy(posting on post after the other).
Apart from the many seminar series that we have conducted, we have been doing promotional road shows for the AEI's 2010/11 student recruitment.the past three weeks we have been going around schools to promote our master's programmes especially to third year degree students. we started here in university of Malaya , going in different faculties.
first a talk would be given by my supervisor Associate Professor Dr. Hajjah Jariah, who is the Deputy Excutive Director of AEI( Quality Assurence,Promotions and Administration). two of my other colleagues will be registering the students whoattend the talk, and as for me, i will be outside the hall giving students pamphlets and inviting them in.
the attendance at most of our road shows was rather very disappointing, only a few students had turned up. i feel very little was done in letting the students know about the road shows. lack of publicity equals such a low turn up.
honestly i blame my institute for the low attendance, i personally feel that the strategy used is not a very good one, i mean you cant expect a large turn out if you have not extensively advertised the road show. there were no posters whatsoever to let students around school know about these road shows. when i asked one of my senior colleague about it she says they usual send the particular school/ faculty that the road show will be a held at a letter to let them know when they are coming. they(AEI) in turn expect that certain school to disseminate the information. OK fine,that is still a right thing to do but more input has to come from us.
well i am planning on writing a proposal to my supervisor suggesting better ways to get students to apply with the institute, well i hope that the proposal will be taken into consideration once they go through it.
wishing you all well! i am nearing the end of my internship, it has almost two months now!
