Violas Association

653

The Violas Association started out as a small team established in 2016 by less than 10 members, who were the monitors and vice monitors of the Advanced Program’s classes at that time. The number of members gradually increased over time. Currently, in the academic year 2020 – 2021, the Violas Association operates as the Student Association of the Advanced Program in International Business Economics, with over 50 members. The main objective of the Association is to act as a bridge between students and the school, teachers, alumni, and especially to connect students of different cohorts. Therefore, the Violas Association organizes annual activities throughout the school year such as orientations for freshmen, workshops or seminars to share experiences on studying, career path, extra-curricular activities, etc. Each year, there are also one to two big annual events such as enrollment kick-off programs, proms, and Christmas parties. The Violas Association has three main committees: the Organizing Committee (planning and orgranizing activities throughout the school year and monitoring the working progress of all Committees), the Event Committee (coming up with and executing event scripts; writing MC scripts; arranging performances), and the Communication Department (preparing event concepts and plans; writing media articles; designing media publications; filming and taking photos at the events).

In 2020, despite some difficulties and obstacles due to COVID-19, the Violas Association still tried our best to promote our role as a bridge. Notable events were the Violas Christmas Party with over 150 attendees, along with orientations and sharing seminars, as well as connecting activities for the two cohorts V12 and V13 at the military-training campus. The Violas Association will try even harder in the future, proudly representing the students in the Advanced Program in International Business Economics to promote our image to domestic and international friends.
