SHAH ALAM, 10 August 2015 – The School of Communication and Creative Arts is never a quiet school. There’s always a project or campaign going on throughout the semesters. One such event is the Project Dream 2.0, a charitable-based project with a series of activities and events that took place in July and August. “These public events will push them to step out of their comfort zone and experience a glimpse of the corporate world beyond the university’s wall,” said Timothy Chan Liem Joe, a lecturer from the Communication and Media Studies Department, SCCA, whose students were the organising team behind Project Dream 2.0.
Loving Pets with a Sense of Responsibility @ KDU Utropolis Glenmarie Campus
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) brought their two pet dogs as mascots for the KDU Hearty Paw event. Of these two pets, Zoey (right), a handicapped dog with three functioning legs, had won the hearts of many attendees with her troubled past
Animals are soul-soothing companions, created to be loved and act as our silent yet thoroughly understanding companions who never judge and love us all the same. However, the alarming number of dogs and cats being left to fend for themselves on the cold, cruel street leaves much to be desired. But it doesn’t have to be that way, and we can help shelter these innocent paws.
With this intention in mind, 9 students from KDU University College School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts’ MBA in Hospitality Business Management programme, took matters into their own hands in creating awareness among young adults, and educating the general public in owning and being responsible for their pets.
Relaxing Friday - Coping with Stress
Stress Wall— at the beginning of the workshop, students write down what actually stressed them.
Stress management involves many aspects. From turning a stressful situation around in the best of our capabilities to carefully evaluating how we should react, there are many ways to manage stress in our daily lives.
Acknowledging that university days can be quite a feat with the amount of stress that one gets from studying alone, the counsellors at the Student & Alumni Centre organised a workshop on coping with stress, which covered topics from reducing its harmful effects to preventing stress from spiralling out of control again in the future.
