Day Six of the orientation program at the Department of Industrial Management was an exciting showcase of growth, empowerment, and connection. Designed to equip students with the tools and mindset to excel in university life, the sessions of the day brought invaluable insights and opportunities for personal and academic growth.

The day began with an engaging session on Presentation Skills conducted by Professor Suren Peter, Senior Lecturer, Department of Industrial Management, shared tips and techniques to help students speak confidently, engage their audience, and deliver effective presentations. The session was both practical and inspiring, giving students the tools to communicate their ideas clearly and powerfully. 

Next, Dr. Amila Withanarachchi, Senior Lecturer, Department of Industrial Management led a session on “How to Spend University Life Productively.” He spoke about the importance of time management, setting goals, and balancing studies with personal growth. His advice encouraged students to make the most of their time at university and turn it into a period of learning and self-discovery. 

In the final part of the day, students were introduced to the university’s clubs and including Leo Club, Rotract club, LED club, AIESEC and VidE Club. A group of third-year students shared their experiences of being part of various clubs, highlighting how joining a club can help develop skills, build friendships, and create lasting memories. They encouraged the first-year students to get involved and make the most of these opportunities. 

The day reflected the department’s commitment to supporting its students, not just academically but in all aspects of their university life. With each session, students gained valuable insights and felt more prepared to start their academic journey with confidence.
