October 2000
For 25-year old
Alice Chin who graduated with a Bsc in Business Computing and IT,
last Saturday's graduation held a special meaning for her as both
her younger siblings also graduated and her parents were present to
share the joy.
Alice, who joined Informatics as a course
consultant in 1995 at its Kajang branch was recently promoted to
business manager at Informatics and she takes care of sales and
marketing of core products that includes the Advanced Diploma in
Computer Studies 2000 as well as the Diploma in E-Commerce.

The
spunky lady commutes from Semenyih by rail to Informatics Kuala
Lumpur, an 80-minute journey, and this means her day starts at 5am
daily. Dedicating her success to her 'extraordinarily supportive'
parents, Alice plans to do her Masters this year.
Among those
who graduated with a Bachelor of Science (Business Computing and IT)
was John Lee. He jokingly remarked that he was "27" because no
matter how we tried, John refused to divulge his real age.
John was the most grandest among this year's degree
graduates. His fellow graduates were seen congratulating him and it
surely proves that age is never a reason to stop learning.

Also graduating together with Alice was her younger
brother, 24-year old Chin Kien Wing. Chin is currently a system
administrator at a local company while 22-year old younger sister,
Chin Siew Fui, a sales coordinator, has since enrolled into the
Bachelor of Information Technology course, an Australian degree
program available at Informatics.
Other UOW graduates
included 30-year old web programmer and ex-Informatics lecturer
Andrew Ooi who was at the graduation with girlfriend Sarah Kee, a
former course consultant at Informatics.

Another was 24-year old Umadevi a/p Muthusamy. Working as an
administration clerk, Umadevi graduated with a Bachelor of Computing
and IT. Umadevi said that she intends to do her Masters within the
year. |
