SOCIT Team Building May 2009

2009-06-16T18:30:00.000-07:00

On the 16, 17 and 18^th of May, 2009. SOCIT organized a Team Building Camp in collaboration with Inti’s Team Building Office and 4 members from Frisbee team. The camp is held in Nature Lodge, Penang Hill. The camp is coordinated by our very own Mr. Edmund Tan from TBO.The actual purpose of the team building camp is to remove the gap between the new semester students and students from the earlier semester. Not only has it h elped to bond the students in SOCIT, the participants also learned several essential objectives that are needed to be and form a team, such as leadership, communication, individual talent and commitment. Most of the things that we learned are mainly through games and activity held at nature lodge. Games such as charades where we learned communication skills with team members and also to develop our individual talents and skills. Volley Bomb, a game where team coordination among team members is a must to achieve our goals. Throughout the games, we also learned to have a strong commitment towards ourselves and to our team. Students of SOCIT can now communicate better with each other as they have broken the gap that divides the student from different semesters. We no longer ignore each other when we meet in the canteen or any part of the school. The Team Building session also have cultivate a strong sense of belonging to SOCIT among IT students and directly make them to be more active and participative in all collge activities organized by IICP. The effect of the camp is also quite fruitful as SOCIT has established it’s very own Research and Development division (a subsidiary division of E-learners) where students from SOCIT can share and discuss their problem that they faced in their studies and also foucs mainly on new discoveries.
