Facilitating students to take part and win in Track and Field events was our goal which we have achieved fairly well. ”

 

James T and Samprathi Alva - Sports Coordinators
“I was given the responsibility of being a Fun zone co-ordinator. True to its name, the event comprised five zones namely Salka, Tug of War, Blind navigation, Brain Scrum and Crazy hurdles which ensured that the CUIM family had a wonderful time and a lot of fun. The three hour session which happened during the afternoon was managed within the stipulated time. I had to ensure that the zones stuck to the time without compromising on the planned rounds in each of the zones. The participants were given chocolates for winning for "FUN".
My learning: Skills of effective communication and listening. To pay attention to details.  To manage unexpected situations tactfully.To stick to targets and meet them irrespective of the situation.”

Divya Elizebeth John - FUN ZONE Coordinator
“The valedictory function of CANTATA 2014started at 5.00 pm. It included the prize distribution of Blossom, Altius and Cantata. External fest and Placement Coordinators were facilitated as well. The cultural performances included a song by Shifin and group and by JAB. There were dances by Red Chillies group,Ridhi group, Parichay and Vasu and Vishnu group. The function ended with a special applause for the entire CANTATA team for their efforts. Then followed the DJ by Rajan Sir. The team work and coordination of stage, technical and cultural team resulted in success of the event.”
 
Archita Jha, Stage and Valediction Coordinator
“As Overall Student Coordinators, we had the uphill task of getting everyone together and getting things done. A constraint was the Mid Sem exams which happened two days before the event. But with a dedicated team and superb guidance from our faculty coordinators we were able to pull it off. We worked as a team and in tandem with each other’s decisions. We set out clearly defined job roles and responsibilities to each POC which helped in proper execution. Effective and constant communication at every stage was very essential. You are held responsible for your team’s performance and so we had to make sure all the teams were going according to the schedule and plan. Overall a true learning experience for us”
