School of Media and Communications SHOUTOUT! IV

Hello All,

It's been some time since you heard from us and you are probably wondering what the team has been up to!

Well the School has been busy with a whole host of activities that have been planned till the end of the year and beyond. The student powered Media and Communications Club is planning many events this year and next to make sure that media students experience in MDIS is an enriching one. You probably have seen the Radio unit doing their recruitment exercises for their team in the canteen. If you want to be part of the TV, Radio, Publishing or the Events unit within MCC. please drop an email to Ms Amanda at amanda_tayml@mdis.esdu.sg.

As part of its ethos of helping students in their career advancement plans, the faculty conducted a half day workshop on the media industry for Students from Mendaki. The workshop entailed Television and Radio production as well as creative thinking. The students thoroughly enjoyed the hands-on experience they recieved and are now considering the media industry as a career option.

We are also encouraging students (through BlackBoard announcements) to attend industry based events that would be happening in and around Singapore. These events are important for networking and getting to know the industry better.

The School is also looking aggressively for internship opportunities for our students. Students whom are keen to pursue such opportunities should drop an email to Ms Su Yan at suyan_hong@mdis.edu.sg

Whilst the School does try its best to discover and nurture talent, I do hope you will step forward if you believe that you have what it takes to SHINE! We will make sure you do!

Please drop me an email if you have any feeback or need us to look into any matter concerning your academic sojourn in MDIS.

BE INSPIRED, THINK CREATIVE, THINK MDIS
