EVENTS
A Day of Welcome and Wonders at Nanyang Institute of Management
On 6th May, we marked yet another successful orientation for students arriving from across the globe. The day began with a warm welcome with Mr Johnson Teo, Dean of School of Business and School of Logistics, followed by a comprehensive briefing that introduced our new students presented by our Student Service team. It was a chance for them to learn about the robust support systems and innovative programmes that will guide them through their educational journey with us.
Following the informative session, the atmosphere buzzed with excitement as the games began. These were not just games but a series of team-building challenges designed to foster camaraderie and teamwork among our students. From the laughter-filled ‘Can You Remember My Name?’ where students learned to recall each other’s names by heart, to the strategic ‘Passing Game’ that involved maneuvering a rubber band using straws, the activities were crafted to enhance teamwork and interpersonal skills.
The ‘Balloon Battle’ was a spectacle of strategy and speed, seeing teams work together to move a cup across a room using only the air from balloons. Meanwhile, the ‘Battlefield’ game was a dynamic test of strategy and quick thinking as teams vied to collect the most bottles from the center of the field.
These games, though simple, were profound in teaching valuable lessons about unity, strategy, and mutual support. They mirrored the cooperative spirit and loving vibes that are at the heart of our community here at Nanyang Institute of Management. It was a joy to witness our new students dissolve barriers and forge friendships that we hope will last throughout their time with us and beyond.
As the day drew to a close, it was clear that the new faces that arrived unsure and tentative had transformed into a cohesive, spirited group, ready to embark on their academic adventures with newfound friends and allies by their sides.
Welcome to Nanyang Institute of Management, where your journey towards excellence and camaraderie begins!
