MS Brunei UK Societies Fair

Today BruSton 2011/12 committee had a booth in the Maktab Sains UK Societies Fair together with 22 other Bruneian Societies in the UK to promote their universities and societies to potential new students who might be applying higher education in the UK.

It was a great opportunity to recruit more members and we managed to grab a large crowd of students! All in all it was amazing despite the irony of having a lot of non-working fans on the floor at the forever hot canteen area! :P

Thanks to all who visited and came to support the event at the fair! And not forgetting the societies who took their time to come to MS and have their own booth! :)

Today there was a briefing organised by the HRD Services at the Empire Hotel and Country Club, Brunei. Several UK universities International Office representatives came to give their respective briefings to the new students, one of which was the University of Southampton. The current and former committee members of BruSton also came to give some support and show some familiar faces to the new students.

Karen Arnold, the International Officer for University of Southampton gave a talk about the general life as a student at the University. One of the BruSton committee members also gave a small talk about BruSton and Southampton in general.

Many thanks to Karen for the handing out of certificates to the former members of the BruSton committee! And many thanks to those who came to the briefing! May your year in Southampton be an amazing one! :)

BSUnion's Brunei Student Societies Forum

The Brunei Students Union Forum was held for two days (26th and 27th July 2011) and ended this afternoon at the Yayasan Complex in Brunei in collaboration with the Brunei Students Unit where BruSton attended and met other Brunei societies from the UK, Malaysia and Brunei. Each society had to give a presentation about their respective societies and give an overview of their action plan for the year 2011/2012. It was great opportunity for BruSton to be sharing experiences with the other more veteran Brunei Societies! Thanks to all who came! :)

Much Love,

BruSton :)
