The document summarizes internal activities within the External Affairs (EA) and Human Resources (HR) departments of BEC, a student club, in the 2011-2012 school year.
For EA, events included an overall orientation, brainstorming sessions for each team, Photoshop training led by the BEC President, PR writing sharing, presentation skills discussion, and a picnic. HR events were a welcome tea to introduce new members and get to know one another through introductions and challenges. Both departments aimed to enhance members' skills through training and team-building activities while getting work done for BEC.
2. PREFACE1
During 250 days in BEC this year, we had many proud
memories and experiences when working together. BEC has de-
veloped drastically, not only a club but also a give-and-take
family where we can share original ideas as well as our feelings.
On behalf of members in charge of BECSUM, I would like to of-
fer Becers this BECSUM as the recognition of what we have ac-
complished this year. It is a good source of information in look-
ing back upon our life in BEC. Moreover, I give my big thank to
the writers, the supporters and the designer who help me a lot
in this project. Since we have tried out best, I hope that this
summary will be really beneficial for you.
Good fortune and best of luck!
3. EBS WORDS|CONTENTS|BECSUM TEAM 2
"School year 2010-2011 marks a revolution
of BEC with clear vision, mission and val-
ues. With the high spirit of challenging lim-
its, we worked so hard together and developed together. Like a company, we work
professionally; we place our customers at a high priority but our members at even a
higher one. Some may stand with BEC until the last minutes, some may leave and
find other opportunities but we are sure that we have tried our best and will try harder
to bring higher benefits to our members.
A year with achievements, failures, happiness, sadness, hope and disappointment
has passed and BEC has become more mature, new leaders and mem-
bers have become more confident and capable than older ones. And wed like to ex-
press our deep belief in a crazily cool BEC next year.
From EB 2011-2012"

COMMUNICATION
SKILL SEMINAR
T
he opening one was Commu-
nication Skill Seminar
(CSS) held in VCCI, on Vo Thi
Sau Street. This was the first time
newbies from three departments had
a chance to work together in the same
project. Attaching importance to prac-
tice rather than theory, CSS targeted
students from all universities with the
purpose of enhancing their communi-
cation skill one of the most required
soft skills for their future careers. De-
spite some shortcomings, CSS took
place successfully to some extent and
helped K50-owls to make significant
progress and become much closer.
LOGISTICS IN-DEPTH
T
he next seminar was Logis-
tics In-depth (C3), especial-
ly focusing on the third and fi-
nal year students. The special thing of
C3 was the MC contest held by PD to
find suitable MC for the seminar.
Many talents of BEC joined and final-
ly we got two shining winners: Ms.
Uyen Vu from HR and Ms. Hong
Phuc- from EA. This contest was real-
ly a progressive step in our prepara-
tion. The organizers gave participants
an informative and beneficial Sunday
in Hai Au Building with interesting
speeches and a delicious coffee break.
C3 was really well-prepared for a long
time and brought good feedback to
the project team.

BUSINESS NETWORK-
ING: CORPORATE AND
BANKING FINANCE
T
he final seminar in this chain
was Corporate and Bank-
ing Finance (C4). Partici-
pants could take part in C4 for free
because we gained sponsorship of 7
million VND and a venue in Vina
Shoes Building. In this event, we car-
ried out the seminar in a new creative
way. There were ten guests from not-
ed companies with profound
knowledge and valuable information.
After speech giving part, each guest
was arranged to a group of 7 to 8 par-
ticipants, then they talked over the
topic Finance in details. The model
was so effective that everybody was
very excited and forgot the time, just
stayed focused on the talk. The feed-
back of C4 was encouraging and put a
happy ending to external events of
BEC this year.
Thanks to CSS, C3 and C4, the image
of BEC spread wider not only in FTU
but also in other universities. BEC-
ers, from all three departments, also
have grown out of our limits and im-
proved important skills to adapt our-
selves to new experiences. According
to our plans, external events next year
are very promising and supposed to
flourish far more!
6. CLUB ACTIVITIES55
EGG AUCTION
The last semester witnessed a really big and
well-organized event run by PDers. It was Egg
Auction. With a view to finding out the freaky
cool ideas for next years projects which high-
ly meet BECs visions and encourage BECers
creativity, Egg Auction was led in the right
way. When running the project, however,
some certain difficulties were unavoidable.
Due to the fact that not anyone is born with
creativity, good ideas are limited and the
number of ideas didnt live up to project
teams expectation. Nevertheless, the mo-
ment when BECers gathered together and
had a good time was valuable and meaningful
to everybody. Through the project, organizers
learned a lot from ideas of BECers as well as
experience to run an event.
SELF-LEADERSHIP
In addition, PD also had a chain of internal
training. Self-leadership was the first explo-
sion. To emphasize the importance of self-
leadership and provide BECers with useful
tools sharpening their self-leadership skill,
this event was really beneficial to partici-
pants. Attending that training day, partici-
pants could gain brand new knowledge and
applied it into practice immediately. That was
really a great time for BECers to flock and en-
joy the training with a lot of laughter. There
was no sign of tension or boredom. Therefore,
this event lasted more than four hours, and
participants enthusiasm as well as interest
remained the same until the last minute.
INTERNSHIP
Another training organized recently was In-
ternship. For the purpose of providing stu-
dents with both knowledge and real experi-
ence, the event was honored to welcome two
formal guests: Mr. Tran Nguyen Ngoc Diem
and Mrs. Tran Minh Thu Trang - EB last
term. Thanks to this event, participants got
helpful information and learned precious ex-
perience straight from guest speakers.
LOOKING BACK
In fact, in order that those two projects of
training run smoothly, organizers encoun-
tered some difficulties. It was really hard to
transmit boring academic knowledge to eve-
rybody in the most lively way so that they
wouldnt feel boring. Another difficulty was
about a suitable venue for such formal train-
ing projects. Finally, however, project team
survived those difficulties and brought BEC
successful training days.
In return for those obstacles, organizers had a
chance to learn useful things. BECause organ-
izers were responsible for those events, they
knew the content of training like the back of
their hands. That was why they had indept
knowledge of the training and got the related
skills. Last but not least, it was also a good
chance for PDers to co-operate and get to
know one another well.

EA Coffee Talk
As we know, Coffee Talk which has been very
popular to the Owls is a successful serial talk
show held by PD department every month. How-
ever, EA coffee talk (EACT) was something new
to BECers. It was carried out on Sunday 22th
April at Summer Milk Tea. This was the first time
Coffee Talk was organized in host of EA with an
interesting topic challenge your limitation. We
had hottest debates ever about the dilemma of
dead or alive and time machine invention. Be-
sides the discussions, the entertainment during
the show was also very fantastic with egg danc-
ing and circle games, bringing us much craziness
and free laughter. Thanks to the effort of EAers,
the show was really impressive and memorable.
Green day
This was a welcoming field trip in Giang Dien for
K50 newbies who had just been recruited to
make acquaintance with one another and old
members in BEC. The main purpose of this picnic
was to refresh the members after stressful re-
cruitment and to do the first general training for
new owls. As we expected, the program began
with cheer - up greeting from three departments:
EA, PD and HR. The performances were really
amazing and so meaningful that it promoted the
atmosphere so much. The BizGame was the main
part of the trip with a series of puzzle games ask-
ing for both logical and physical abilities from
participants. Despite the fact that the challenge
of those games was so hard that make it frustrat-
ing our partners had attempted to finish the race.
The next part of the trip was general training of
EB including: new term vision, basic prerequisite
and value of BEC. That wonderful Sunday was so
interesting, joyful and knowledgeable despite
having a tired day with games, laughter and hun-
ger.
X-Mas Party
The party took place on Sunday 20th
December
2011 in Binh Quoi Tourist Ecological Area. It was
a swimming pool party held by HR department
for greeting coming Xmas and welcoming New
Year. BECers had chance to play original swim-
ming games, enjoy barBECue and exchange
Xmas presents. The most specific part of the
party was the talent show of BECers with the
most beautiful voices and performances from
three depts. The party was expected to support
participants family atmosphere and enhance club
solidarity.

Journey to Charm (J2C)
This was another picnic organized by HR de-
partment. J2C was aimed to be a combination
between team-building day and relaxation after
a hard working term of large event with dead-
line and tiredness. BECers had a change to
amuse one another with humorous perfor-
mances in a series of challenge games. The last
part of the program was the most appealing
one when both Ms. and Mr. from three depts
showed off their beauty in the talent show. And
Mr. Nguyen Tan Tai was the charm winner.
Owlery
After Green Day, the Owlery was another event
that helped new members understand their
new family more by learning BEC tradition. In
the formation of a friendly tea break with the
participation of former generation, there were
many guests: former presidents, vice-
presidents and leaders of the very early begin-
ning of BEC. In addiotion to the review of the
club vision, value and basic prerequisite the
party included experience sharing part from
alumni and questions of new members about
difficulties and solutions in BEC. This was a
good opportunity for both current members
and alumni to look back the establishment and
development of BEC to gain further achieve-
ments in the future.
Coffee Talk series
The Coffee Talks themes and activities vary
from various aspect of life from education to
communication, from money to genders. The
topics of Coffee Talk are:
Social Networking Skill
Stress
Tet in Owlery
Boys versus Girls
Students in the Pricing Storm
Owls Flight: NCS64
The Coffee Talk team was committed to create
and better Coffee Talk to spread the spirit of
English Speaking and Opinions Sharing to BEC.
PDers have tried hard to set the base for the
younger generations of BECers to develop and
of course, enjoy. Coffee Talk held by PD has
become a traditional event of BEC, giving our
owls a lot of fun and valuable tips for practical
issues in life. This event will be enhanced more
to be tremendously successful next year!

EXTERNAL AFFAIRS
DEPARTMENT 2011 -
2012
Overall Orientation
With the purpose of giving new
EAers a more detailed look of what
the department is in charge of, the
meeting was hold in earnest. De-
partmental rules were announced;
information channels were intro-
duced. Simultaneously, members
became acquainted with each other
in a friendly mood. For the first
time, leadership was called upon
all who had the ambition to take
responsibility. As a result, EA had
found 4 new leaders: Survey, Face-
book, Youtube, Forum leaders.
The first event of EA ended with
excitement and positive tension.
Brainstorming week
Each small teams of EA had a
gather-up to brainstorm break-
through ideas as well as united
strategies for the development of
each channel. Facebook team came
up with a widely-recognized idea
of an online competition. Youtube
team started making a funny video
about BECs president. Forum
turned up some attentive posts.
Survey team finished analyzing the
results collected from K50. All
teams proved to be creative and
somewhat effective in delegating
tasks.
Photoshop training with
Mr. President
As an image-shaper for BEC, EA
need to be competent in designing
the clubs products, from posters,
logos to branding items. In order to
better EAs skill, Mr. President
was so nice to give IT-EAers a
photoshop training. Joined in this
training, there were not only
EAers, but also some HRers.
PR writing sharing with
Anphabe Manager
Ms. Anh Thu
Being in charge of marketing,
which involves a lot of writing, EA
also needs to master PR writing
skill. With the help of Ms. Vice
President, TBTers and EAers had a
chance to hear from the profession-
al PR writer coming from Anpha-
ba, the biggest Vietnam communi-
ty for business leaders.
Presentation skill dis-
cussion with the ap-
prentice
Presentations are made a lot during
the advertising time for an event.
How to present fascinatingly to our
customers affects significantly the
traffic to our event. Again, with the
presence of Mr. President, also a
former EAer, and the from the ap-
prentice, EA had a discussion
about the best way to present to
public. Each member had to give
their own opinions on the topic, so
it was like an implement at the
same time.
EAs picnic
After the running of CSS and all
the channels, EA held a picnic to
relax to restore energy for C3 and

C4. The picnic took place by the
crescent lake. All the food and ac-
tivities were prepared by a group of
beautiful girls in EA. Although it
was a time for fun, we, as EAers,
did not forget to train our wisdom
by playing a brainy game Ma-
fia. Followed the intensity of the
game were a lunch with various
kinds of nutritious food and more
relaxing games. EA had a great
time together and was ready for
more challenges.
Moment of truth
Having been through many events
in the year and working with mem-
bers from different departments,
EA decided to take a look back to
learn and to propose ideas for the
club in the future. Each member
was free to express their opinions
no matter how good or bad they
might be. Being straight to each
other brought us closer; and we all
took a serious look at what we had
done so far. In the end, many ideas
were given in order to have more
effectiveness not only in EA, but
also in BEC.
Human Resources De-
partment 2011-2012
Welcome Tea
This was the first time all HRers
came together after the result of the
recruitment had been announced.
On that day, new members were
told functions of HR department
and tasks of a HRer. We were also
given the introduction of current
members in HR. Then, new mem-
bers one by one introduced them-
selves. Accompanying with the in-
troduction, we had to perform some
small challenging tasks like singing
a song when holding the nose, do-
ing a sexy dance and so on. Thanks
to this event, we got to know one
another more were ready to work as
an HRer.
Free Talk
This was one of the frequent events
of HR. There were Two Free Talks
organized in November and De-
cember of 2011: HR Drawbacks
and Solutions and How to control
your feelings when you have an
argument. These two topics re-
ceived a multitude of opinions from
HRers. It was not only a great op-
portunity to enhance English speak-
ing skill but it also was a special
chance for us to deal with practical
problems.
Training
HR organized many training days
during 2011-2012. We began with
Negotiation Training in Novem-
ber with 2 special guest speakers-
Mr. Huynh Song Kha and Mr.
Duong Tan Vu. From this, we were
provided with many tips and advice
on the road to become skilled nego-
tiators.
Then, we had an experience sharing
day How to be a
good interviewer
with Mr. Nguyen Tien
Duong- our ex-Owl
Nanny. With a view to
improving HRers in-
terview skill more and
more, Interview
Practice was orga-
nized. After two afore-
mentioned training,
HRers are ready for next year Re-
cruitment.
Recently, we have had training in
Photoshop with which we have got
lots of useful knowledge about
basic functions of Photoshop. We
are sure not to stop there. More
practical training will be organized
so that HRers will get many bene-
fits from them.

Competition
HR has had 2 competitions so far.
The first one was Spell Owl-HR
Internal Version. As it can be
seen from the name, this was a
spelling competition. After going
through 4 hard rounds, we finally
found the winner - Mr. Nguyen
Minh Man. Following the success
of the first competition, we came to
Way To Knowledge organized in
March, 2012. In this competition,
we had to face up with easy-to-
difficult questions concerning many
disciplines: Mathematics, Art,
Sports, etc. After overcoming other
redoubtable competitors, Ms. Ho-
ang Thi My Duyen got the highest
scores and was obviously the win-
ner of this game. From these two
competitions, HRers really had
great moments together, leant many
new things and was ready for more
and more up-coming challenges.
Learning circle
This is a chance for HRers to share
the obstacles that they encounter.
As for unsolved problems, we will
try to find good solutions to them
altogether. By this way, we hope
that all members can make more
progress on their work and get
greater achievements.
HRs Bonding
This was precious time for HRers
to gather together
for fun. We have
had 2 events like
this up to now.
The most recent
one was on June
2nd
: HR End-
year Picnic. We warmly wel-
comed the attendance of 2 ex-
members: Mr. Duong and Mr. Tu.
There we had a very, very delicious
barbecue. As the name of it, this
activity really helps us to feel closer
to one another.

MENT DEPARTMENT
2011-2012
Internal Training
There are four main internal train-
ings for Becers, two of which for
only Pders they are Project De-
velopment Process and Skypox.
The internal train-

ings are always filled with experi-
ences from the guest speakers who

Criticism
There was one day to help PDers
understand each other well. We
talked about the members and also
our own drawbacks and difficulties
in 2011-2012 as a BECers so that
others could help realize the solu-
tions.
Relaxation
There are plenty of activities for
PDers to relax besides studying and
working hard for ideas for Semi-
nars, Coffee Talks or Trainings.
Places to hang out vary from every
corners of HCMC., have not only
studied but also have enjoyed fun
since the day we joined BEC.
