Hello everyone,
It gives me immense pleasure to inform you that TSAN has been
awarded the "Outstanding Organization of the Year Award 2008".
This was a part of the 3rd Annual Student Organization
Reception and Employer Networking Dinner, which was held yesterday. We were
awarded this award based on the poster we presented.
Apart from the TSAN Board, Director of Industry Affairs Brian
Coombe and ex-President Kaustubh Jagtap were also a part of this
event.
It
was a great
opportunity
to publicize
about TSAN
and ENTS
program.
Here's what the President had to say: "It has truly been a great
networking experience for TSAN. This event has given us a great
opportunity to spread awareness about TSAN and its activities and
also about the potential that ENTS students bring to an employer.
It was a different experience from the one during career
fairs. Not only did we publicize what our organization
does, but we also got to learn about the activities of various
other
student organizations all over campus. The best part was the "Outstanding
Organization of the Year Award". It was an honor to
receive it and raise the word of "Telecommunications
Students and Alumni Network" in
front of over 200 attendees, including the University Career
Canter staff, Employers and various other student organizations.
I strongly encourage the upcoming board to participate in such
activities and spread awareness about TSAN and the ENTS program".
For me, it was also a great opportunity to learn from the employers
why they value student leaders. Some of them responded with: "they
possess the ability to maximize the talent of others and develop
an environment of excellence with the ability to enroll, inspire
and
engage others",
"being able to leverage diversity of thought to provide the
best results", "those who take a leadership role to drive
a process, those who mentor others who bring less experience to
the table,
and those who are effective communicators in familiar and unfamiliar
settings; these are the qualities that we look for
in any student we pursue for employment" etc.
In all, a great experience.
Pictures coming soon.
Varun Santosh
Secretary,
