Kuala Lumpur, 29 April 2010 -
UCSI University’s new intake of students for this year’s
May session and their accompanying parents were pleasantly
surprised at the welcome ceremony which awaited them
on their first day on campus. They were personally greeted
by the University’s Vice Chancellor, Dr. Robert Bong
and were treated to a performance by international artiste
and violinist, Dennis Lau.
The Welcome Ceremony for all new students started last
year and has helped students adjust to their new life
on campus. The Welcome Ceremony was followed by Orientation
sessions by the University’s Student Council and their
respective faculties.
Dr. Robert Bong addressed both students and parents,
assuring them that they are in good hands at UCSI University.
“As in many universities in the world, the positive
experience students enjoy while they pursue their course
of studies has often prompted them to continue a life-long
relationship with the university.” Dr. Bong also says
that this is one of the main reasons why UCSI University
is keen to establish a continuing relationship with
the students from day one, which continues throughout
their tenure here, culminating in the alumni network
after graduation.
Currently, UCSI University is the second home for the
international students who came from more than 70 countries
make up 38% of the student population. According to
Dr. Bong, this promotes a positive cultural exchange
for all students, right here on campus.
During the welcome ceremony, students and parents were
treated to a 20-minute performance by popular violinist
Dennis Lau, together with saxophonist Jimmy Sax. Other
items also include a sword skill performance by Jin
Lin a 2nd year student from the Faculty of
Management and Information Technology accompanied by
Li Xue Cen also a second year student also from the
same Faculty on the Guzheng, a traditional Chinese
instrument. The University’s School of Music student
band later entertained the students with popular pop
and jazz numbers.
