ELC Gazette

Welcome back! How is everyone after 2 months of holidays? Surely all of you have enjoyed the stress-free life at home. As for me, my holidays were packed with celebrations of Christmas and New Year, of course, and also my personal vacation all the way to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah which was the highlight of my semester break. The best semester break I ever had, so far.

Anyway, I hope this is not too late to welcome everyone back to campus, especially to existing ELCians. It is the time for us to hit the books again and embrace this whole new semester. Personally, I like the feeling of January semester. I am not sure the reasons but I just love it. Nevertheless, university life is not all about studies. In becoming well-rounded graduates as being emphasized by UTP, we shall also enhance our soft skills.

Being a part of a club is a good start. Not just being a part of it, involve yourselves in it. Be active! Not forgetting, I would like to welcome our newly-registered ELCians who have joined the club especially our juniors of January 2010 intake and those who have attended our very first Mass Gathering. ELC welcomes you to our very special club! Trust me; there is no regret to be a part of us. ELC is now nearly 2 years old and it may not be as magnificent as other clubs. However, it has been progressed over time and this is all due to the commitment given by the members of ELC. We are the manpower to make the club grow.

Currently, ELC is taking part in publishing UTP’s very first newsletter which is known as the  “Heart of Tronoh” (H.O.T.), collaborating with UTP Student Representative Council (SRC), MEDTECH and International Student Council (ISC). For a humble club like ELC, this is a grand achievement for us to work hand-in-hand with other major organizations. A thing that we should be proud of and this will be the benchmark for more progression of ELC in the near future. Don’t you think so? Yes, I do think so!

We have so many activities this semester for our members to take part which includes:

1. Monthly Mass Gatherings

2. Teens in Campus (This February)

3. The Chronicler: Pen-a-LOL. (This April)

4. Campus Bulletin (UTP News letter)

And more. Now, it is all up to you. We count on you! Together, we make ELC better and better. We have fun and at the same time, we progress! Once again, WELCOME TO THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CLUB! 😀
