Message from the Executive Board

October means that we are almost at the end of our

terms! Everything we have accomplished up to this point

could not have happened without the hard work of KPU’s

class of 2012 AIESECers. Each and every one of our

members have helped us surpass our own expectations.

And now it is the time for us to push harder than ever and

to really leave our mark as the world’s next generation of

leaders.

Corporate Relations The CR team has broken records by realizing not one, but three

internships in the past 2 months! Agranee Solutions has now

taken on a total of four interns from India and hopefully will be

looking to take on more in the future!

Also, with the help of our Director of Corporate Development, we

were able to restructure the entire portfolio to create a more team

like atmosphere to drive our sales up! We have recruited five new

CR members and are excited to see what they can do!

Alumni Relations

Brian Mackie, will be transferring from the Communications

portfolio to Corporate Relations to take on the role of Corporate

and Alumni Relations. Over the years we have amassed more

than fifteen AIESEC Kwantlen alumni and we will now be

conducting exit interviews with each alumnus to make sure that

they are still engaged with us in some way!

Talent Management

Stand Out!

The TM team wanted to put on an event for AIESEC members and

the Kwantlen community alike so they decided to organize Stand

Out in June! We had speakers come and speak about a variety of

topics including HR, Social Media, Leadership and

Communications.

Fall 2012 Recruitment

We at AIESEC KPU have had our best recruitment since our

conception! With Talent Management leading the way, we were

able to recruit 18 new members!

Outgoing Exchange

First Realization

This year’s team has made history yet again by sending our first

intern on exchange! Irwin Chahal, a second year marketing

student went to Manama, Bahrain for two months to work on the

“Colors of Bahrain” project. The group attempted to create a

Guinness Book world record by piecing together the largest scale

map of Bahrain, consisting of paintings made by school children.

Irwin also took part in creating a short film depicting Bahraini

culture.

New Exchange Participants

Marie Hiebert, a recent HR graduate has passed our review board

and is now looking for a development internship to match with.

Wahid Wasay is a fourth year accounting student who is in the

preliminary stages of our process and will be matched with an

exchange participant manager within the week.

Finance

Finance has recruited three new members who are all in the

process of being trained. They are also updating to the new

system of WAVE accounting and preparing for our upcoming

audit.

Current Grants

Saveena is currently working on multiple grant and sponsorship

opportunities for the local committee which include: Kwantlen

School of Business, Freedom 55 and Coast Capital.

Thank you for reading and see you
