Meet the judges *cue dramatic music*
Heading the panel of judges, we have Ms Karen Ho, Managing Director of XPR – a tech-focused communication agency in Singapore. Having undertaken many successful and high profile events and multi-faceted campaigns in her public relations career, Karen has a discerning eye for what makes a communication plan ticks. While the strategy and feasibility of your communication plan matters, she will also be looking out for professionalism and exemplary presentation skills.
Next up, we have Ms Christina Tan, unit coordinator for Campaign Management who will be flying in from Perth for the conference. Meeting this cohort of MCC307 students for the first time, she is now directly involved in the students’ learning experience and more than just a name on the unit guide. Having sat through countless number of presentations, campaigners will have to up the game to impress her.
Last but not least, we have Mr Louis Ng, supervising lecturer for Campaign Management as the third judge. Under his patient tutelage, countless hours had been spent guiding students along to ace this presentation. Now, his role as a lecturer shall take a back-seat as he assumes his place as a judge. Having sung his praises and critiques during the rehearsal, there will be expectations to be met at this conference.
