Wellness Event: LunchTime Talk (Adapting to a New Environment)

In our ongoing efforts to connect with various communities within the Faculty of Science (FoS), Student Life collaborated with the International Students Coordinating Office (ISCO) to organize a lunchtime talk on 31st August. This event marked our first step in providing support to our international freshman community.

Amirul Hakim, our guest speaker, delved into the unique challenges that international students often encounter when adapting to a new environment. He also shared valuable strategies to combat feelings of homesickness and loneliness. The Q&A session that followed took a delightful turn when students raised topics close to their hearts, such as the intricacies of ordering local drinks at Kopitiam. This unexpected twist brought a lot of fun and laughter to the event, both for the invited speaker and his colleagues!
