PMU HWeek Launch Event
The PMU HWeek team held its launch event on March 30, 2015 in the PMU Lecture Hall on the Male Campus.
The purposes of the launch event was designed to emphasis the PMU HWeek website, events and invite the student body to increase their participation in the scheduled events. The PMU HWeek team showcased the marquee events and the connection between the events and PMU’s core competencies of communication, critical thinking, leadership, professionalism, teamwork, and technology
During the PMU HWeek Launch event, Core faculty members Dr. Thomas Corbin, Prof. Paul Christian and the PMU HWeek Student Ambassadors highlighted the key competitions and events for HWeek. These include a Persuasive Speech Contest, based on the necessary leadership skills as presented in William Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, a Leadership Essay Contest, where participants will write on the finer points of Machiavelli’s The Prince and how these leadership skills are prudent today, a Moot Court competition for the Law Club students, covering Constitutional Law cases and a Short Film Contest encouraging the concept of community. The stand-alone Renaissance Man Award, Dr. Yazan Alghazo teamwork seminar and Mr. Greg Poole’s Intelligences and Leadership lecture were also highlighted.
Students can register for PMU HWeek competitions and the seminar through the PMUHWEEK.org website
Students should consider registering and participating in the events not only for the awards that accompany the winners but also for sharing the true nature of the university experience which is the study of participation in the educational process.
The PMU HWeek team was proud to report during the launch event that current registration and participation already stands at 400% above the previous year’s involvements but the team’s goal of 200 participants in the marquee events was reiterated and encouragement for the student body in general and the HWeek Student Ambassadors specifically to increase awareness through social media. Special acknowledgement was also expressed to PMU Campus Life, the Deanship of Core and the many student groups involved in the process at the end of the launch event. Without them PMU HWeek could not be a success
