MUDIC PLUS
Program for Learning, Understanding and Support
The Rationale
The student body at MUDIC is highly culturally diverse, not unlike a mini UN. PLUS is designed to equip the students with the necessary skills to maximize the opportunities available in this multicultural environment. Each student has unique experiences and a wealth of cultural knowledge to share with others. PLUS sessions facilitate the students to take full advantage of the resources available to them through their colleagues.
The Program
There are six PLUS sessions during the early part of a semester. Students are encouraged to attend all of them. Participants who complete the program will receive a certificate of merit at the end of the semester.
The Content
Students will receive instruction on skills on reading, writing, organization, and intercultural communication. There will also be opportunities to gain insight into one's personality, to make friends, and to form liaisons with colleagues who may be future professional contacts.
