Graduate School Holds Faculty Meeting
A general faculty meeting was held Sept. 1 to orient the teachers on the
academic policies of the graduate school. Besides discussing the policies,
there was also a good exchange of ideas on how students should manage their
time and be able to meet the course requirements considering the fact that
the students work and study at the same time.
Mr. Rong Chong Talks on Research
After attending an international conference on research in the Philippines,
Mr. Rong Chong, the dean of the faculty of Business at Norton University,
shared some ideas on Information and Data Utilization with Batch 1 MBA
students. This is to enhance the students perspective on Research , one of
the courses they are taking this semester. He emphasized on the use of the
primary and the secondary data and the proper quotes from an authority for a
scholarly work. There was a good response from the students and to some
extent the talk helped broaden the students' horizon in the area of
research.
A New Zealander from Cambodia Shared Time with the MBA Students
Mr. Farib Sos, a Cambodian by birth but New Zealander by nationality gave a
talk to all the MBA students last Sept. 13 at room AS1. He challenged the
students to do good in their studies because their knowledge can be their
credit card. Further, he encouraged everyone to be critical about what he
studies by questioning how the concepts relate to his everyday experiences.
As a professional, he has been to many jobs one of which is being the senior
lecturer in Marketing and Management at the Open Polytechnic in Wellington,
New Zealand. Mr. Farib Sos has been working in New Zealand for the past 29
years but his heart still belongs to Cambodia.
