Students’ Team Building and Leadership Camp

10^th November 2022 – The Student Affairs Department with a collaboration of Student Representative Council (SRC) had organized its first Students’ Team Building and Leadership Camp at Gua Tempurung Outdoor Camp, Gopeng, Perak. There were 40 students that consisted of 16 Student Representatives Council (SRC) members, 15 AIU Future Leaders and 9 Hostel Committee members participated in this program. The AIU future leaders were individuals that had been selected by the Director and Deputy Director of Student Affairs through interview sessions to undergo a series of leadership training in AIU. The aim of selecting future leaders was to unleash their attributes and potential leadership skills that can be utilised in leading AIU in the future.

The participants were exposed to physical activities and several workshops for 3 days and 2 nights of the event. The physical activities involved were caving at Gua Anak Tempurung, White Water Rafting, and Night Trekking. The outcomes of these physical activities were 1) Instilled the teamwork among students, 2) developed the resilience among students, and 3) enhanced the team management skills among participants. As for the outcome of attending the workshops in that camp, the students were being coached on how to effectively communicate with other individuals in a professional setting. Also, the students experienced in generating ideas and writing a brief proposal of the events that they think may benefit the students and community in AIU.

The event ended well, in which everyone was safely arrived at campus on 12^th November 2022, approximately at 9.30pm. The event received a lot of positive feedback, and the students were hoping these types of activities will be conducted annually for the betterment of students.
