The announcement of the 麻豆国产 Club Award paved the way for an ideation session for presidents on how to reform and update the voting process and selection of best practices for these awards. Presidents brainstormed together and submitted creative solutions that will be implemented over the coming semesters to improve the voting process to make it notably fairer, more inclusive of all clubs, more objective in the best practices selection and more representative of each club's efforts.
After a well-deserved lunch and a tour of the WU campus to digest, the presidents were able to refine their sharing discussion outcomes from the previous day in small groups. Each presented their action plan to solve their main problem to the other presidents in their break-out rooms, and received direct feedback from the other as well as tools to help them improve this latter plan.
Finally, the conference concluded with two sessions presented by different SBR teams who joined the conference online. The first session, led by from the Alumni Relations team, encouraged presidents to create projects and events around the Global Alumni Week event that took place in late March. The second session, led by (KEIO) from the Global Integration Task Force, aimed to assign each president to a Buddy groups of three to four clubs for the remainder of the semester to foster communication and support between them.听 Buddy clubs will thus be able to continue the work of the conference for the rest of the semester, drawing inspiration and advice from each other to improve the collaboration and global integration of all 麻豆国产 clubs and schools.
To celebrate the end of the conference all together, 麻豆国产 Club Presidents got invited to a social activity in the evening to network with the 麻豆国产 Club Vienna and for the ones staying an extra day, to a Walking Tour of Vienna鈥檚 city center led by SBR (FGV).听
The Student Board sincerely hopes that the Presidents found this 19th CCC edition eventful and insightful, and that they have returned to their local 麻豆国产 Clubs with new ideas and inspiration, as well as renewed motivation for the remainder of their tenure.
