First Moment

Date: 5/2/2018
Venue: MM6
Activities:
This is our first ever class for social engagement class, GIG1005. For most all us, this would be the first time in which all Information System's students gathering in one class. Not to mentioned, our mentor, Dr. Suraya binti Hamid, also gave us a brief yet informative introduction for Social Engagement and it's requirements. 

So, what exactly is Social Engagement?
The definition of social engagement which resonates a lot to me is based on Julliet Millican, Community University Partnership Programmer, in University of Brighton, means the ability to work constructively within and between social groups to create more resilient and sustainable communities.

Moving on...
We were all asked to brainstorm to select a project that we are going to carry out as a group. Our group has big amount of students, which total up to 54 students. All of us, later on will be divided under four different departments.  

Some projects we came out after some discussion:
1. Education for orphanage
2. Activity to lend a hand in old folks home
3. Projects regarding homeless people in Kuala Lumpur.
4. Education for refugee.

Quickly, we were asked to form the committee structure that serves as the backbones for the project. On this particular day as well, we chose project manager, vice project manager, secretary, treasurer, vice treasurer, head of department for human resource, marketing, sponsorship and media. 
Project Manager: Shawn Tey Wei Sheng
Vice Project Manager: Arni Syahira Binti Ishak
Secretary: Lim Phooi Xian
Treasurer: Lai Yong Zhu
Vice Treasurer: Sebastian Tan
HOD of Human Resources: Cheah Keat Yoong     Vice: Mohamad Zaidan Bin Mohamad Khalil
HOD of Marketing : Eunice Cheng (me)                  Vice: Lee Yee Wan
HOD of Sponsorship: Mitra Anusri a/p Muralitharan   Vice: Aifa Natasha Binti Azmi 
HOD of Media: Muhammad Ashraf bin Mahathar        Vice: Yau Pei Chi

As seen above, I volunteered myself for the position of HOD Marketing since I have had experience in being Marketing committee member before in other various projects. A Whatsapp group was created instead of Telegram group for easier communication and information exchange. All the leaders chosen seems very promising and I was excited for the project we are going to choose to contribute back to society. 

Problem faced: 
During our first meeting, we were actually dealing with extra credit applications issue. Since the server was down, many students weren't able to apply for extra credit due to heavy internet traffic. The problem is then resolved with the help of Dr. Suraya.
