Dream.

Dream was the two day event of AIESEC Manipal University which had sessions by Vice President(HR) of TCS, Bangalore Mr E.R. Chakarvarthy (Popularly known as Chaks) on PersonalITy Development. This was not a normal everyday personality development seminar, but it was essentially about What Companies want from you in the corporate world and it focused on culture of companies and recruitments too! After the 90 minute session, there was a serious QnA where Mr Chakarvarthy took questions which ranged from “Current Recruitment Scenario” to “My gpa is 7, will you recruit me please?”.

Following this there was a session by Dr RajKumar, Director (BPO) HCL, Chennai, a man with colossal experience in the software industry who recently moved base back to India from the US, spoke about Business Communications and the shift to the Corporate “Real” world from the campus life. His session was crisp and his charisma is such that he gets the audience at the edge of their seats throughout! He stressed on how merely your accent and pronunciation affects your work-life amongst other things. After his session got over, he joined the AIESECers in our jives and roll-calls!

The highlight of day 2 was the workshop by WIPRO’s head of Business Communications, spoke to the students of MIT and other colleges sitting in the audience about the details and technicalities of a Job-Interview. His hour long session trained people about all niceties of an interview, from the length of the sleeve to the posture.

This was followed by a presentation by Red Cross, who elaborated on what an organization like AIESEC and they have in common and how the Development Training Internships helps make the world a better place. Red Cross also talked about their ongoing AIDS project in Karnataka.

A ‘State of the World’ group discussion and team activity session was held after this where in the audiences were divided into 6 groups and each group was given a relevant world-issue, like Poverty, Global Warming, etc. The groups also had to conceptualize and present the solutions to their respective problems.

The last agenda on the list was a play on Global Warming called ‘The Last Resort’ which was by DRAMANON, a well-known and highly talented bunch of individuals which drew people in large numbers.

In a nutshell, the two day event saw sessions by TCS, HCL, WIPRO, RED CROSS, and the students had something to take back home. The thought-provoking Group Discussions restored a sense of concern in the youth of today.

AIESEC, in more than 60 years of existence, has tried to achieve, and succeeded, in its goal of creating IMPACT, either direct or indirect. The world’s largest student-run organization, aspires to see a borderless world with each person having the paramount cultural experience. The most efficient way of achieving this objective is exchange.

Our objective is to target the students of Manipal University, the global entrepreneurs of tomorrow, and help them enrich their education by providing them with a holistic international experience which would help them in their future endeavors. This initiative will challenge their worldview and help them gain a unique combination of multi-cultural, social and entrepreneurial experience during the formative years of their lives.

AIESEC International is responsible for the highest number of exchanges in the world. From Work Abroad Program for Technical Students to Global Entrepreneurs Program for a socio-cultural-entrepreneurial internship abroad for students looking to broaden and increase their cultural understanding and who genuinely believe in making the world a better place than it is.

AIESEC India did 2123 international exchanges, both incoming and outgoing in the year 2009. As there is equal importance of non-technical internships as there is of technical internships for engineering students, AIESEC is the perfect platform for them. AIESEC has been tapping potential of young and bright minds for over 60 years now. Its purely a student run organization and hence understands the needs of students better than any other provider can.

The aim of our Local Chapter in Manipal University is to provide the AIESEC experience to as many eager young minds as we can.

Malaysia

My internship with AIESEC in Malaysia started on the 4^th December, 2009. As part of the Global Entrepreneurs Program, I worked with the AIDS research foundation in Malayisa- the AARG in helping them form a partnership with AIESEC in Malaysia. In addition to this, I also conceptualized an awareness drive involving declamation, painting and slogan competitions for schools in and around Penang. My work in the field of HIV/AIDS helped me get the HIV Champion of the Month award, a true honour indeed! I also conducted sessions on the condition of AIDS in India, which was a very rewarding experience.

I am proud to say that I chose AIESEC as a way to explore my potential and experience a great international internship. This exchange program not only gave me work exposure but also helped me discover myself as a person. I learnt a lot of things apart from my work field, made a lot of friends and also saw and felt the different culture of Malaysia. It has been a splendid experience to have worked with so many influential people in the field of HIV/AIDS and to have met the passionate and driven AIESECers as well.

I would like to thank AIESEC in Manipal University and AIESEC in Malaysia for giving me the chance to prove myself and also doing my bit towards HIV/AIDS.

THANK YOU AIESEC!

EP Experience!4th year MITian in TURKEY!

I have got an opportunity to intern with an MNC, which has a presence in almost 19 countries. It is an unmatchable and enriching experience to get a chance to work in a field relevant to my interest and branch. The chance to connect and interact with people from different countries and diverse cultures is truly fascinating and has helped me get to know and understand a lot of different people and their customs. My stay in Turkey is truly an enlightening and a stimulating experience, helping add several dimensions to my personality and knowledge.

The Beginning!

Once upon a time not so long ago... deep in the jungles of Bangalore, there lived a boy named Dhruv Lath. He was Vice President Expansions of all of AIESEC Bangalore.
He was thrust upon with the duty of starting the best possible expansion AIESEC India has ever seen. So he embarked upon an epic journey with his trusted members from AIESEC Bangalore to start AIESEC India’s first University expansion.
After months of research and a few more months of convincing authorities AIESEC Manipal University was finally set up...it was a beginning of many firsts for India...Manipal was destined to go down in AIESEC history.

In August 2008, after Days of millions Group discussions and Personal interviews, only the best 4 got selected to take AIESEC Bangalore’s vision to forward. Slowly but steadily they toiled towards greatness...It was not long before it had a full fledged Executive body and a functional office in Manipal Institute of Communication. Its membership grew to over 50 people...and its reach spread to whole of Manipal. The young boy, Dhruv grew up and had to leave AIESEC and take up greater challenges but his dream to start something that meant the world too many came true...

AIESEC IN MANIPAL CONTINUES TO GIVE HOPE AND INTERNSHIPS TO MANY TO THIS DAY!!!!!!!!!
