2) To hold an event organized by the students for the students, as an exercise for them as communication strategists.

3) To hold informal dialogue sessions with celebrities and speakers from various fields on latest trends and issues pertaining to media and communication locally and
internationally.

4) To provide a platform for learning and induction for the juniors as part of firstyear experience (FYE), a collaboration of energy in event management for sophomores, an opportunity for alumni members to return and share their experiences, take and
partaking of advice on the industry.

5) As a festive tribute to those leaving and will be joining the industry.

6) To allow the opportunities for keen and able students to showcase their leadership potentials and organizational skills which will be included into their CV.
