message from director of penang regional office

Congratulations on having set up the website for the Penang Student Council. Each and every one of you must be commended on the excellent work that you all are doing. Having the website you now have the opportunity to anounce all the activities social, sports & etc that are being planned for all WOU Students in Penang. University life is not confined to academic activity alone, there has to be social and recreational interaction amongst students. That is what that makes University life interesting and diferrent from Secondary School.

This is a great challenge for Distance Learners. You only meet once a month and that too you only meet up students in your tutorial classes. With the web page you have another means of communicating with each other and your activities can be made public to all that have access to the page. Thus ensuring better interaction and closer ties with all students in the Penang Regional Center.

I wish you all the best for the coming semester and hope that through the Student Council activities our students can support each other and become closer.

Cheers.

The student council is the forefront of all student activities and serves as a liaison between the students and the university. The student council also serves as a link in promoting the university to the surrounding community.

 

It is a place to help the student body to accomplish goals by coming together and discovering our common interests, purpose, sharing of knowledge, problems, experiences and having fun. It is a common place where students meet to share insights. As the academic field does not teach us how to relate to each other, we are here to learn how to form good relationships.

 

From group studies to durian trips to site seeing trips, from museum trips to cultural festivals and celebrations, from meetings with professionals from various walks of life to career orientated seminars with famous speakers.

 

We are here to promote fellowship, peer guidance and cultural awareness at the university. Enjoy yourselves while keeping our studies our top priority and getting our good degree by the end of the hard earned journey.

 

            We are better off when we do it together.

 

                                    “ BETTER TOGETHER ”

message from vice chairman

Joining the Student Council enables me to know as much as possible about university's co-management. This hopefully will make me capable in to help better for students by being informed and informing them about how to get help with their problems or issues.

Studying in WOU and being a member of SC can offers a useful way to develop my communication skills in my working and social environments. Knowing around with the students, tutors and WOU staffs have inspire my life and the SC gives me the opportunity to be more open to cultures and lifestyles across  the region.

My name is Lim Chee Keong, Vice Chairman of WOU Student Council Penang. For any information or advice regarding this or other topics you are welcome to contact. WOU Student Council is large organization and a good example to take when exploring good management for effective cooperation and communication.
