An Orientation Camp was held on 23rd August at the beginning of the 2014/2015 academic year to welcome MPI freshmen. “Flying My Dream” was the theme of this year’s Orientation Camp, in which all freshmen got to know about campus life at MPI through different lively and exciting activities. President Prof. Lei Heong Iok represented the Institute in welcoming all freshmen who were joining the MPI family. He encouraged all freshmen to widen their horizons, follow their dreams, persevere with their studies, grasp every opportunity and contribute to society and the country.
During the Orientation Camp hundreds of freshmen wore a “Flying My Dream” orientation T-shirt, designed by a senior from the Design Programme, and recited the “MPI” motto and values together. All participants enjoyed the happy event. There were interactive games, humourous drama, dancing and singing shows, all performed by MPI seniors and alumni. A “Campus Hunt” was also held in the afternoon, in which freshmen were formed into groups and had to complete different designated tasks, including looking for particular objects or locations, taking photos and completing certain actions. Through these activities freshmen were able to become familiar with the campus facilities and services, get to know and build up good relationships with the seniors, and to brighten up their campus lives at MPI.
The Student Affairs Office which organized the event indicated that through this series of welcoming and seminars, including seminars on career planning, learning about traps on the internet, and sharing sessions with scholarship students, outstanding alumni and young people, freshmen could gain a better understanding of MPI, and that this would help the students to develop their sense of being part of the MPI community and enhance their whole person development in the future.
