KUALA LUMPUR: Finding inspiration from role models to fulfil dreams is the driving force behind society’s progress. Over 600 UCSI University (UCSI) students brought inspiration to life during the University Life Final Showcase themed ‘Dream Big’. The theme saw students set up booths to showcase the achievements and stories behind some of the world’s most inspiring figures. 

Officiated by UCSI Vice-Chancellor and President, Senior Professor Dato’ Dr Khalid Yusoff, the exhibition had 66 booths set up at the Multi-Purpose Hall. 

Among the leaders chosen was Dato’ Peter Ng, the founder and chairman of UCSI Group. 

“Personally I’m inspired by his determination. In different stages of his life, Dato’ Peter had different dreams. Today we share one of his dreams – to make a difference in education. He shared with us that there is no loser in this world but a winner in the making,” said the group leader, Timothy Tay who is currently reading BEng (Hons) Chemical Engineering. 

The Showcase also saw 18 amazing performances comprising of dance, drama, fashion show, pantomime, talk show, musical drama, storytelling and vocal performances by the students.

This activity was the final year assessment for the subject University Life. University Life is a course offered by the Centre of Excellence for Learning & Teaching (CELT) for first year students. The main focus of the course is to integrate theoretical coursework with hands-on experience – in line with UCSI’s Praxis® approach that advocates the application of theory to practice. This provides students with skills such as identifying learning styles, effective study techniques, presentation skills, as well as communication and leadership skills that will bring them far in their careers.
