Prayer Song

If god be for us, what can and who can be against us?
….in him we live and move and have our being.
Prayer is the Key that unlocks all doors. It is the rope that pulls God and man together. Let us all raise
for a while to seek the blessings of THE ALMIGHTY.

Welcome Address

Self-confidence is the first requisite to great undertakings. Take a step at a time toward your goal. The
journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

I call our buddy Mr.M.Prakash of III MCA to Welcome the Gathering.

Felicitation

A Leader is one who knows the way , goes the way, and shows the way.

We feel proud to invite such a leader, our most beloved Principal, Dr.V.Radhakrishnan to felicitate the
gathering.

Introduction of Chief Guest

Take time to laugh it’s the music of the soul

Take time to think it’s the source of power
Take time to read it’s the fountain of wisdom
Take time to pray it’s the greatest power on earth
Take time to work it’s the price of success.

Today we have such a Person who schedules his life time to laugh, think , read, pray and Work. He in
none other than our today’s Guest Mr.Rozario Sir. It’s Mr.Aditya Ratna Tripati, our pal to Introduce
the Chief Guest.

No Person was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave.

People use the hours of a day differently. But, the way you spend your time determines the quality of
your life.
I call upon our Guest to give away the Strategies to Glaze the Employability Skill and dear friends
spend your today to determine the quality life.

Lunch Break

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great
teacher inspires.

Good morning everyone

It is a great pleasure indeed for me to welcome you all to the one day Workshop “Strategies to glaze
the Employability Skill” organized by the MCA Department.
Do all the good you can , By all the means you can
In all the way you can , In all the places you can
At all the times you can , To all the people you can
As long as ever you can
These are the sayings that perfectly fits our chairman Lion Dr.K.S.Rangasamy , secretary Mr.Srinivasan
and executive director Mrs.Kavitha Srinivasan. Their Prolonged Support and Blessings in all the events
makes their presence around us in their absence.

I have the great pleasure to welcome The Best Leader, our Principal Sir who accepted to grace today’s
event with Felicitation.

Welcome Sir.

I am happy to welcome, most specially Rozario Lloyd Gerard Sir for honoring our invitation in spite of
your very busy and tight schedule.

Once Again my Heartily Welcome to all the participants. I wish them all to have an inspirational
journey today.

Thank You.
I am very happy and grateful that (so) many distinguished students have come from various
department and other colleges. to glaze their employability skill. I would like to take this opportunity
to express my deep appreciation for Professor James Wright, President Emeritus of Dartmouth
College, for honor ing us a keynote speech for this symposium. I also wish to give special thanks to Dr.
James Finlay from Cornell University, Dr. Heesok Chang from Vassar College, Dr. Matthew C�t� from
Bates College, and Dr. David Moore from the Gallatin School of Individualized Studies, New York
University, for taking the time to fly to Korea for this occasion. Last but not least, I must also mention
and thank Dr. Sung Bok Kim, Distinguished Service Professor at the State University of New York at
Albany, for his invaluable help and advice ever since the birth of College of Liberal Studies of SNU.

The College of Liberal Studies has been established together with the Graduate School of Convergence
Science and Technology in the hope that such new institutions would help young Koreans to
overcome the perennial problem of rigid boundaries between disciplines and departments. Unlike
most of their peers, students in this college are admitted without having to choose their respective
majors at the time of application for admissions. Once admitted, they are given up to two years to
explore diverse academic fields and approaches to discover and cultivate their aptitude and potential.
They benefit from newly developed curricula and courses, which focus on developing critical thinking,
writing, and presentation skills as well as a strong background in the humanities and natural and social
sciences. They are given an opportunity to develop their character and sensitivity through various
activities and extracurricular programs. In addition, they are free either to choose their respective
majors from existing departments and programs within the university or to design their own fields of
concentration.

However, we know very well that we have only made a beginning. Though we are very proud of what
we have achieved during the last seven months, we are aware, too, that we cannot realize our vision
simply by trying to provide the best teachers or by providing the best courses unless our students
become active learners and pursue their studies independently. We know only too well that the
realization of our vision depends on active learning. We therefore strongly hope that our students will
become active learners, choosing their own themes and developing their own questions, and grow
into global leaders with creative and independent minds who will be able to cross national as well as
disciplinary boundaries. At the same time, we sincerely expect them to become men and women of
character who are genuinely concerned with social justice and human rights. Our students are now
very happy and proud to be freshmen in this new College, and I firmly believe that this small
international symposium will be a big step into the future of higher education in Korea.

International conferences on liberal education have been held several times on this campus, but this is
the first conference specifically devoted to active learning and independent study. I would like to
thank Dean Kyung-hoh Suh and all faculty and staff members of the College of Liberal Studies for their
efforts to make this happen, and many others who have generously given help in the process.

I hope you will have two most productive days of interesting and stimulating discussions. I sincerely
wish that this symposium will be a great success not only as a chance to share knowledge and
experience in higher education but also as the beginning of a long and fruitful cooperation and
friendship among fellow educators devoted to the most meaningful and worthwhile task of teaching
and training our youths, who will shape our future.

Thank you very much.
