NO.8 "THE SOM WEEK"

The celebration of the Student of Management or SOM week was held last otober 26-30 2015.the faculty launched the SOM fom SOAB before and the theme this year is "aligning direction for unified business" as a freshmen student i really enjoyed it because in the first event was parade in the magallenes village. Despite the hot weather the students seemed to enjoy walking. many students presented  their talent that day, like the champion of chant and cheers,the apc dancer entertain the studetn and also the cadidate for mr.and ms.som 2015 represent every courses for that competition.they also had different kinds of activity and sports wherein students could participate.

I attended the seminar together with my classmates, the seminar is about "cultural diversity"the speakers are mr.Chimco from aveo ayala company and mrs.Salagubang fom Bdo,they discussed how to adjust into culture especially if your company or client are from different part of the world.they shared to us the different kinds of techniques so that we can understant and appreciate each of it.the purpose is to teach us how to become employee, how to properly act and communicate in a corporate evironment.

We learned a lot; like how to handle or adjust in a culture especially if your workers or your clients are from a different country you should learn first the culture of every country or company that you be engaged in the near future.we were really thankful for that seminal especially to the speakers because they shared a lots of technics,their knowledge to us,like as a student, how do i become successful someday.

I parcatipate also as a facilitator to the BMAG the organizer of the game called "running man"was based on the korean variety show.the som students and non-som student are the players of the game. Their goal is to finish all the task that are given to each team,this is very challenging because they need teamwork knowledge and energy to win the game.and each team was vey competitive. i learned from this activity that teamwork is important, you also need to focus to do the right thing and that you need discipline for each member..I am very thankful to the "Bmag member"that gave us the apportunity to become a facilitator to this activity,all the members are very kind,friendly and approachable, because of them I met a new friends.

The most awaited event is the "mr.and ms.SOM 2015. I watched the pageant together with my classmate to support all the candidates especially the representative of our course the BM candidates,every candidates has a suppor from thier courses,from thier family and friends,we really enjoyed watching the pagent because all the candidate showed thier knowledge and talents especially in the question and answer portion..all the candidates are deserved to win; but there could only be one pair of winners, and the lucky pair who won the crown are from M.A. Course. congratulation to all the candidates all of you are winner in our hearts because you showed us a different of talent and knowledge of each and everyone.
