SUBANG JAYA: School of Communication has established the MC Club to address the declining number of emcees in Taylor’s University.
“The club was formed with the main objective of training potential members into well-rounded and capable event emcees,” said club president and co-founder Christopher Wong Poh Fai, 20.
He said the club will look into improving soft skills and instilling confidence in members to unlock their true potential.“This is also the first SOC club to collaborate with the Shine Award Centre (SAC),” Wong said.
He said SAC will work together with the club in providing free emceeing training for members. “SAC is currently trying to invite people from different sectors to assist in training and carrying out workshops for members,” Wong said.
He added that students who join the club will be able to benefit greatly through the developed structured programme where members are placed in actual events and workshops to gain experience.
“Members that have undergone training with us will be placed in charity or NGO events to train themselves in front of a crowd,” Wong said.
“Emceeing is not only about having the ability to speak, but also the skills to present yourself in front of a large crowd,” he added.
Membership is free and no specific skills in emceeing is required. The club is open for registration until 11 November.
