Fall Recruitment
Fall recruitment is coming up. This means all hands on
deck! We will all be conducting classroom presentations
and participating in efforts to make this recruitment as
successful as the previous ones. If you want help with the
pitch you can speak with TM. COMM will be updating the
powerpoint and assigning everyone to presentations. We
got this!

Events
Stand Out!
With any big project complications will arise. Especially
when everything is just starting to look perfect. Stand Out!
was no exception to this. We had two speakers drop out
on us, posters were late, and half our members failed to
show up. Despite this we were able to accommodate 30
attendees on June 29 on a FRIDAY MORNING. That is
surreal.
Our very own Ryan stepped
up to replace one of the
speakers and did a
spectacular talk on
Impression Management.
Colleen McGoff Dean, a
KPU professor, gave us
great tips on communication, and Ross Laird gave an
enlightening talk on Leadership, Personal Development,
and picked up where our social media speaker dropped
out. All in all, it was a huge success. Great job to Amrita
and everyone who helped make this happen.

Portfolio Party
OGX
We are currently preparing our next EP for review board.
Let’s hope she gets approved and we can send her on her
way! We are also trying to get a partnership with the
international department to see if we can turn their
“rejects” into prospects!
Did you know that EP at
AIESEC KPU has to
meanings? EXCHANGE
PARTICIPANT and now
EXCITEMENT
PROGRAM! That’s right. OGX is creating an EP EP to
improve EP retention and AIESEC experience quality.
COMM
Did you read the article about our EP Irwin on the school
website? That’s BAMA number 4! We will be promoting
different countries for the next month: Brazil, Russia,
China, India, and Japan. Check out the tweets &
Facebook page for updates on opportunities abroad.
Speaking of abroad, our VP COMM, Hardeep, will be
going to India for 2 weeks. Jojo will be handling business
for the time being as VP COMM proxy.

CR
CR met with envision financial to discuss the GIP. We
have presented sample resumes for two positions:
network administrator and software developer. Hopefully,
we can get another intern to fill in the position soon.
Kitply Industries is currently going through some changes
in business and we are waiting for further information, but
hopefully our Moroccan intern does not have to wait much
longer!
Finance
Great job to our Finance team for getting us a summer
marketer approved. Unfortunately no one was able to
take the position. Currently, Finance will be contacting
companies for sponsorship and purchasing a new
banner! An Audit is also coming up, so the books are
being prepared.
TM
PDTs are ongoing and only OGX, CR, and TM are left!
The GA’s are also being restructured. If you have
suggestions as to how you would like to see the GA’s e-
mail [email protected]
AR (Alumni Relations)
8
Brian Mackie will be transferring from COMM to AR. What
is AR you ask? For the first time ever AIESEC KPU will be
starting an AR portfolio, which aims to utilize any alumni
we may have.
We all know that our only alumni over the past three years
has been Stevie, so Brian
hopes to take advantage
of KPU alumni, AND
alumni from other
AIESEC chapters who
may have possibly
moved to BC.
If you have any questions
regarding Brian’s plans for AR you can find his information
in the contact document. We are certain Brian will do
AIESEC KPU proud!
Conference Mania!
WRC 2012
AIESEC SFU is hosting Western Regional Conference
2012. This means no flight fees for us!
Learn and connect with AIESECers from BC to Manitoba
during Thanksgiving weekend!

For those of you who have yet to attend a conference
WRC is the cheapest option. If you use the school of
business fund allotted to AIESEC KPU student members
this conference will be free! So, use the fund for your first
conference or if you haven’t already used it, take
advantage of it! SFU will provide us with more details in
the near future.
And that, KPU, is what’s up.
May we all welcome the challenges of the rest of the
year with open arms and strong will.
