The MUPA PG Sharing Session 2, held on June 19, 2024 was a cheerful event that successfully brought together current and new postgraduate students, fostering a sense of camaraderie and meaningful interaction.
A highlight of the session was the innovative Emoji Introduction. Participants introduced themselves using a string of emojis representing their interests, hobbies, or personality traits, prompting others to interpret the emojis and learn about each person in a fun and engaging way. This dynamic activity effectively broke down barriers and facilitated connections among attendees.
Another key feature of the event was the MUPA quiz, which spurred active participation and set a vibrant tone for the session. As the discussions progressed, both participants and MUPA members found themselves engaged in lively and enriching exchanges, significantly enhancing the overall experience. The event also included a variety of board games, adding to the enjoyment and interaction.
The feedback session was particularly valuable, providing insights into the students’ preferences and desires for future activities. There was a clear call for MUPA to prioritise initiatives such as retreats, movie nights, and physical activities. These suggestions reflect the diverse needs of postgraduate students and their desire for both entertainment and mental growth opportunities.
A new MUPA member, Batrisyia Azalan, had a good time at the event and said, “It was nice to meet other people from other schools. Will definitely attend another one in the future.”
The event concluded on a high note with a shared meal, further fostering a sense of community and belonging among all attendees.
