Today we had the first SKY Programme of the new Academic Year at 12.30 pm, in the Chemistry Seminar Hall. 15 Students who had spent their One-Semester Abroad in South Korea narrated their experiences to the assembled audience comprising of the Deans, Heads of Departments, Professors and students.
Our Principal Dr. Paul Wilson in his inaugural address highlighted the role played by the Office of International Programmes in facilitating student mobility to universities across the world. He also spoke on the visit of more than 54 renowned Universities from across the world who had come down to MCC to explore collaborations with our Institution and the resultant 12 MoUs that had happened in the last academic year. He exhorted students to finetune their portfolios with their skillsets, and make themselves employment-ready.

Dr. Rufus, Dean of International Programmes welcomed the gathering. Dr. Nirmala Mohan, Head, Dept of Commerce (SFS), Dr. Annet Pearl, Warden of Martin Hall, Prof. Livingstone, Professor of German, participated. Our newly recruited Interns did a highly commendable job. Ms. Irin from II MA Pol Science did the MC, while Shweta Vamsi (III BBA), Mathew Alex (II MA Pol Science), among others facilitated in the logistics for the programme. Dr. Serena, Associate Dean of International Programmes, proposed the Vote of Thanks.
The programme ended at 1.20 pm, followed by a fellowship lunch at the Staff Tiffin Room.
What I personally liked about the programme was the way in which the Interns were particularly conscious of time management. All 15 students spoke, and still, we ended the Programme 10 minutes ahead of lunch time. Awesome work, dear Interns. Keep it up!
