I am a Conference Interpretation 2nd year student, here is how my day goes:
It’s Thursday. I came to Samson early and say “hi” to students. Sometimes only a few students are around this early, all T&I or CI, to start a brand new day with their backbreaking and brain-frying assignments. I put on my oversize earphones and start interpreting a conference from Brookings Institute on the Nobel Peace Prize for EU. After lots of mental toils on the fascinating speeches given by experts, I was reminded that it was time to take the Simultaneous Interpretation into English. The topic today was on industrial policy and its relations with endowment of factors of production. Sweet… wait…it turned out to be way more technical than I thought…Oh did I forget to mention lunch? It’s fine because it hardly took any time. So I am now sitting here writing about my day. Oh, an email just came…Oh! there is a meeting at Irvine on “The US, Iran and the Threat to Peace” from 7:30. Gotta get prepared!
It’s time for YOU to select the nominees for Student Council 2013-2014. This year things are happening a little bit differently. Changes were made to the Student Body Constitution creating two new Executive Positions:Community Relations Coordinator and Communications Director. We think it will be really exciting and help us help you!
Unlike in past years, 2nd Year Program Representatives will not be elected until the Fall, just in case if you decide to change programs over the summer, or something like that.
Nominations will be open until 5pm on Monday, April 15th. Nominees will have 24 hours to decide if they wish to run.
Voting will be open from 9am Wednesday April 17th until 5pm Friday April 19th.
The winners will be announced at the International Bazaar on Saturday April 20th at 2pm, and subsequently via e-mail. If you have any questions, you can contact your Student Council President, Britney Wehrfritz, at bwehrfritz@miis.edu.
