? I think this Summer Program is really good. The activities are really interesting and useful. The best thing was when I played the Rescue Mission from the Electrical Engineering major. But I think, the Industrial Engineering major is interesting too!  In here, I can know better about the major that I?m interested at. Now I?m determined to go for UPH Industrial Engineering major.  ?

I learn a lot of things from UPH Summer Program, not only from the activites and workshop from various majors, but I also learn from the seniors of UPH in the sharing session. I can feel the college life and also, I can meet new friends. I’m really happy because i can get the Best Participant and Best Athelete of Summer Program. I also get the Best Speaker award at the MUN Simulation. It’s surprised me. I?ve just found out my hidden talent! Hehe. But I think, I?m really interested with the Communication major. Overall, this Summer Program is an unforgettable and fun experience! ?
