Convocation 2009
Convocation will be on 30 May 2009.
This is the first time Convocation will be held in Bukit Jalil Campus instead of Sheraton hotel! How exciting! This is for the following reasons:
1. To showcase the campus, allow parents to experience the environment their child has been studying in and such. Also, nostalgia!
2. To built a stronger rapport between faculty, administration and students
3. To develop the sense of belonging in students
To make this a success, the administration will need a lot of manpower and we would like to recruit 25 ushers to help out on 30th of May.
Breakfast and lunch will be provided, along with a special chance to be treated like a staff and allowed entry to the staff lounge, and an opportunity to experience the grandeur and be part of Convocation.
At the moment we can't confirm any incentives for volunteers, but we really do need your help to make the convocation of our seniors a special one.
We all reap the fruits of the contributions our seniors made to IMU and this is a small chance for us to give something back in appreciation.
To volunteer, please email your name and contact details to imusrc@gmail.com or contact Jodie (VP Med) directly at 014-9215715.
IMU Open Day
We are looking for 50 volunteers for Info Day, which is on 14th June.
The pay will be RM 15 for half a day and RM 30 for full day.
Please ask your batchmates to sign up with you or email us at imusrc@gmail.com with the heading "Info Day".
It will be a "first come first serve" thing.
Notice Boards

1. ECA Computer
I regret to inform you that the ECA computer in the student lounge has been abused by students.
I would like to remind everyone that the ECA Computer is for ECA purposes only.
Also, on May 5th the computer was not switched off and thus was running overnight.
This is detrimental to the CPU.
The computer will soon be password locked and students will need to get the council members to open it as the computers are the under the charge of SSD and thus SRC needs to keep an account of the usage.
Your cooperation in this matter is much appreciated.
