The Excellence & Academic Advising Day 2024 was held on Saturday, 14 December 2024, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Organized by the Academic Advising Committee in collaboration with the Mathelites Club, the event aimed to celebrate students who achieved a GPA of 3.50 and above for Semester II of the 2023/2024 Academic Session, foster closer relationships between students and academic advisors, and guide students in developing professional e-portfolios as preparation for a successful career. The program was officiated by the Deputy Dean (Academic & Student Affairs) of the Centre for Mathematical Sciences and was attended by lecturers of the Data Analytics program, administrative staff, and students from the Data Analytics program.
Among the activities carried out are Reflection Box, Musical Bomb, Relay Game and Guessing Game. These games were designed to foster teamwork, enhance critical thinking, and build stronger connections among participants in an engaging and interactive manner.
The committee also took the initiative to organize a LinkedIn Talk as part of the program, aiming to provide students with insights into building e-portfolios using the LinkedIn platform. This session focused on key elements essential for a professional profile, including an overview of knowledge, skills, qualifications, goals, and achievements. Additionally, the session was practical (hands-on), where students received direct guidance on creating and optimizing their LinkedIn accounts. This made it a valuable opportunity for students to prepare themselves for professional careers. The speakers for this session were BSD alumni, Puan Shaesta Khan from TalentCorp and Puan Syarifah Nabilan from Cybersecurity Malaysia. The session received excellent engagement from participants, who actively participated and benefited from the practical guidance provided.
The program concluded with the announcement of the list of winners and the lucky draw. Special thanks go to the Mathelites Club for their invaluable assistance in organizing this event, ensuring its success.
