The aims of better serving fellow students, enhancing exchange activities, and supporting IFTM\u2019s development are key aspects in the programme of the IFTM Student Union\u2019s new leadership. The recently-elected management team, led by Executive Committee President Rebecca Leong Cheng Mei, a Year 2 student in the Tourism Event Management Bachelor\u2019s Degree Programme, is enthusiastic about achieving those objectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca emphasises that a significant goal for the next 12 months is to ensure the Student Union continues acting as a communication bridge between the Institute and the student body. Additionally, the group aims to remain a provider of support and services for fellow students, contributing to further enhancements in IFTM\u2019s educational environment and to the Institute as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Student Union\u2019s fresh leadership was inducted for a one-year term at a ceremony held in the Grand Hall on the Mong-H\u00e1 Campus on 24 February. During the ceremony, the heads of several sub-organisations under the Student Union also took their oaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notable figures and guests attending the ceremony included IFTM President Dr. Fanny Vong Chuk Kwan, Institute Vice Presidents Dr. Connie Loi Kim Ieng and Ms. Diamantina Coimbra, and the Functional Head of the Department of Students at the Education and Youth Development Bureau, Ms. Hong Wai Man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The governing bodies of the IFTM Student Union consist of its executive committee, supervisory council, and general assembly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Student Union President reveals that the group is planning to organise more exchange events and to seek partnerships with student associations from other educational institutions for joint hosting of activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany new Student Union leadership members are either Year 1 or Year 2 students\u201d, and they are \u201cvery active in taking up responsibilities,\u201d states Rebecca. She hopes that those joining the Student Union\u2019s management can boost their personal development, learn new things, and eventually aspire to be candidates for a second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca anticipates that her Student Union role will also help her personal development. \u201cThroughout the upcoming year, I hope I can become stronger and more confident in myself,\u201d she says. She already has experience of being a member of a student union at her secondary school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically, elected positions in IFTM\u2019s Student Union are held by students either in Year 1 or Year 2 of bachelor\u2019s degree programmes. The availability of Year 3 and Year 4 students is typically constrained by factors such as either participation in the Institute\u2019s six-month curricular internship or the need to complete their graduation thesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dWe will continue the work of last year’s leadership,\u201d Rebecca states. One area of expansion involves partnerships with local merchants to provide discounts and special offers to IFTM students. \u201cWe are planning to enlarge the scale of the programme and strive for more down-to-earth offers,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
