Sunway Meets Swinburne (Sarawak)

Date: 6 July 2010
Venue: CPA Australia, The Gardens South Tower, Mid Valley City

From the 5th of July to the 7th, a group of 39 students from Swinburne University of Technology, Sarawak Campus CPA Australia Student Charter (SSCASC) paid a visit to KL. During these 3 days, the students were brought on company visits around Kuala Lumpur to many different potential future employers.

On the 2nd day, CPA organized a networking session between these members of SSCASC with the committee members of students from local colleges. Sunway University College CPA Student Charter (SCSC) was glad to have been invited and given the privilege of participating in this activity. It was an opportunity to get to know our fellow students from other student charters across the South China Sea. Also a part of the gathering ware representatives from Taylors University College and Multimedia University Cyberjaya.

During the gathering, the president of SSCASC, Edina, gave a presentation about the activities of the club. SSCASC is one of the largest student charters in Malaysia consisting of over 200 students as members. They are also one of the most active student charters.
Over lunch, the students present mingled amongst one another and exchanged contacts.
It was a great opportunity and one that will surely result in future collaborations amongst the 4 institutions present.

We would like to thank CPA Australia for organizing this activity and for inviting SCSC to be a part of it. We look forward to the next network gathering and to working together with other student charters. After all, we are a networking club.
