MSE Photo Instagram Competition 2014

Hi all!! The 8th MSESIG Committee has decided to organise a MSE Photo Instagram Competition during this summer hols 

The overarching theme of the event is “MSE: a home of memories”. 

A student has to take a photo of himself/herself doing something that is part of MSE, or even with a person from MSE (criteria is that it has got to do with something from MSE), and submit it to the Instagram account of MSESIG by tagging “nusmsesig” in it.

The MSESIG committee of that time will then look at the photos taken during that time and then decide on which one to award the prize to. The genre can be anything, ranging from funny stories to boring stories or whatsoever as long as it has got to do with something that is linked to what the student will remember MSE by.

Winners will be determined every 2 weeks and they stand to win up to $50 worth of Capitamall vouchers!!  
SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR????? Start taking photos and even selfies TODAY!!

MSE Chill and Career Talk 2013

Picture by Marcus Low. Attentive full house of MSE undergraduates

The NUS 8th MSESIG has proudly presented our "MSE Chill and Career Talk 2013" at the Chill Lab of NUSS Guild House to our fellow MSE community! Our first undergrads-alumni event has provided a platform for our MSE family to mingle and share. Through this sharing session, it has enlightened our MSE undergraduates about the various companies, job applications, writing essays for research opportunities and internships. Food and beverage were catered for the MSE community during the event.

Picture by Di Sheng. MSE family enjoying dinner. 

Our intentions and decision to organise this event was rooted to the fact that many current MSE students are worried about their job prospects and unsure about their future directions, of which should they continue to pursue graduate programs or directly apply for jobs. This event provided an excellent opportunity for them to clear their doubts and give them a clearer picture of their future paths after graduation. We hope that through this event, students would get a better idea of what kind of careers they would like to be involved in, after their undergraduate studies. 

In addition, we will like to express our gratitude to the alumni. Their willingness to share their views and experiences to the undergraduates during this event, contributed to the success of the event! The event would not be possible without their active participation.

Picture by Di Sheng. MSE Alumni Jason and Kayla sharing more about their companies and their job application process.

The committee also hopes that through the MSE events that we organise throughout the year, the MSE community would be able to maintain strong bonds among each other and also with the alumni. 

Thank you! And enjoy your winter holidays! ^^

Cheers, 
NUS 8th MSESIG Executive Committee

Hihi friends,

It gives us great pleasure to present to you the newly elected 7^th MSESIG Management Committee~

7^th MSESIG Management Committee

President – Patrick Goh Jin Jie
Vice-President – Ang Them Way Jaystine
Treasurer – Lee Shao Cheng Alex
General Secretary – Poh Ying Zhou
Director of Publicity (Publications) – Phay Yu Zhong
Director of Publicity (Multimedia) – Marcus Low
Business Director – Zhang Yurou

 

Year Representatives

Year 1 – Aditi Khirbat
Year 2 – Belicia Yong
Year 3 – Teo Hong
Year 4 – Finian Lim

It has been a humbling experience serving you through the year as the 6^th MSEcomm. We would like to thank all of you for your enthusiasm and support and sincerely hope that you will continue to support our newly elected leaders.

 

♥,

6^th MSEcommmm

President – Wing Chung
Vice-President – Chin Liang
Treasurer – Jinghui
Secretary – Hannah
Director of Publicity (Publications) – Victoria
Director of Publicity (Multimedia) – Zhi Li
Business Director – Xuan Yi

Hi friends,

Nomination for the 7^th MSEcomm is still open, if you would like to serve your fellow coursemates and earn some brownie points with your future employers, fill up the form at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFVJOXA5UU1VT21CMWVsVU9VTFFMOGc6MQ now! The deadline is 26^th August 2012, Sunday.

People often ask why they should run for a position in the committee and I wonder why not. Firstly, being in any committee, no matter how miniscule, is always impressive. Just imagine how it would reflect upon you if your resume stated that you served/represented your fellow coursemates (all 4 levels). Secondly, the commitment is not as heavy as it seems because the cohort is only so big and there are only a few major events in a year. The other administrative work and small scale events will not take up as much time and will be very enjoyable to execute, especially if the exco is chummy and crappy lol. Lastly, if you like bootlicking your professors, being the committee might help you get closer to them teehee.

So stop thinking it through already and fill up the form!

<3,
