Graduation Retreat

To ALL,

The IMU Alumni Committee and Student Service Department (SSD) would like to find out whether anyone from BP108 cohort would be interested to have a graduation retreat. This graduation retreat is a 3 days/2 nights retreat in a resort, usually not too fair from KL.

The retreat usually consists of workshops on

1.) financial planning,

2.) personal grooming, and

3.) stress management.

The workshops aimed to provide some basic skills which would be helpful for students when they come out to work in future. The IMU Alumni has organised two of such retreats previously; one in Port Dickson and one in Seremban; majority of those participated by medical students. The participants usually gave good feedback.

Information about the graduation retreat:

• Proposed place is in Malacca (Alumni committee/ Student Services Department would help to find one)
• It will be a 3 days/2 night’s event. Dates can be decided by participants as long as we have at least 20 participants.
• Programme – can be negotiated. Due to time constraints – you would not be able to cover every single topics of interest, but you have ideas of what you want, we will try to source for speakers.
• The fees for students would be a maximum of RM 300 to covers some of the accommodation and food. IMU would pay the rest e.g. speakers fees and accommodation. Transportation to resort not included.

Previous retreat covers:

• Personnel grooming (Chapter One)
• Personal financing focuses on bond, insurance
• Stress management

Proposal of some new topics:

• Working with colleagues & bosses – interpersonal skills training
• Time management (Effective Multi-taskings)
• Agensi Kewangaan PK (Bank Negara), real estate, insurance, taxing
• Investment e.g. property - Law related issues

So now, for those who are interested, kindly please pass yr name to Jun Yan and if you have any questions about this event, pls feel free to email me: peise_wong@imu.edu.my. After that, I will update with everyone of u through Jun Yan. I think if possible around January, I need the name list of those who are interested, because I need to collect the deposits for students in February.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all the BP108 students.

Thanks.
