Fraser International College Talent Night

The Fraser International College Mic Night event at the Atrium of Discovery 1 in SFU tonight was an entertaining as well as a fun event that has witnessed some really great talents.

In that two hours, I watched and listened to some really good dancing, singing, and cultural performance from among the international students. Other than encouraging the students to participate and mingle, the event that was hosted by the FIC ACT team was a platform primarily to allow the students to socialize and build friendship at the same time. This event was previously organized at the end of the first week of the new semester but this semester with the changed in the college's activity calendar, it is moved to the end of the second week instead.

The Crowd on Mic Night
The opportunity to mingle and destress was still the main objective and tonight's event did just that after the first two weeks of really hectic start to the Fall semester. I also spotted several FIC staff members that were there enjoying the performance put together by the students. Now that the second week of classes draws to an end, more serious work and focus is required of the students moving into the third week and so on. In fact the three student Master of Ceremonies at the Mic Night reminded their fellow students to have fun but also remember their responsibilities in the weeks ahead.

But tonight was all about having fun and taking a break from studying. The students definitely deserved the break and they came out in full force. Knowing the students, they will jump right back into study mode once the festivity mood is over. In fact, some of the courses already have midterm coming up or assignments due on the third week. Students in my business classes are already attempting their second quiz moving into the third week. And an assignment due tonight.
