CMIT Ice-Breaking (Part 2).....



The KDU Orientation Committee aims to ensure that all students who walk into KDU campus is welcomed and well informed, and orientation is certainly a great avenue. Looking forward to welcome the March 2010 intake students, the KDU Orientation Committee did their best to get along with the new students from 21 till 22 March. On 24 March, 10am at classroom 211(b), 3 lecturers (Ms May Kang, Ms Law Foong Li and Mr Wuan Luen Hong) and 15 current students as the organizers from the Communication, Media and Information Technology (CMIT) department had fun in this first time organized Ice-Breaking session with the MLVK, Diploma in Computer Studies, Diploma in Business Computing and Diploma in Mass Communication new students.




The 24 new students who attended were divided into two groups, each group consists of 12 members that included the movements of sit, stand, jump, squad and lie – be it on the carpet of the classroom, on the chair and every known criteria of the activities thrusted at them. Lecturers and the 15 seniors can sense the fun and excitement in each and every activity of the Ice-Breaking session, which gears the juniors to strive to achieve their potential, empowering them to lead with confidence in future.



The activities being organized is aimed to build the relationship among the students, and also we seniors aim to put the five personal development dimensions of: Personal Awareness, Awareness and Impact on Others, Problem-Solving, Creativity and Empowerment, Execution, Resource and Management including Teamwork, Stewardship and Communication.



At this Ice-Breaking session of the day, all the seniors and the juniors come naturally to enjoy all the activities as they have to learn to communicate more effectively, trust and entrust all their group members and be accountable for their responsibilities. The activity of “Simon Says” is just a warm-up session for all juniors to get into the atmosphere at the start of the whole session. The Tied-Up activity is aimed to build teamwork in each group member, the Charade and Hamburger activity is best to test the ability of communication among the group members.



After a 10 minutes break, we seniors brought up the atmosphere to a higher peak where all the juniors were given another warm-up session through entertaining them with the activity named as Word Builder. All the group members from both teams were supposed to form alphabets with their own creativity using their own bodies. It was totally the funniest moment where you can see the members struggling and cracking their minds to come out with their own creativity of alphabets through the given body shape structure. The most peak of the day is the Supporter activity, all members were divided into 6 or 7 members in a group where they have to gain their trust and communications among themselves to support the formed circle with their strength of legs and waist of not falling onto the floor.



We lecturers and seniors from the Communication, Media and Information Technology (CMIT) department feel great when we are able to establish the rapport, knowing that all the new students have the assurance of finding their seniors or even the lecturers whenever they need anything. We current students also hope that the new students can get in touch with us through the facebook group formed, named “CMIT Ice-Breaking (Mac ’10)”.
