On 1st July 2023, the University of Peradeniya hosted its much-anticipated ‘Open Day 2023’, welcoming prospective students, parents and many more parties of the community to explore the university and discover the array of educational opportunities it offers. All nine faculties and other units showcased the diversities of their faculties by providing proper guidance to all the visitors who gathered on that day.
As the Faculty of Management, we proudly presented the uniqueness and the creative contributions that the faculty offers to the students and society. The five departments along with the unmeasurable support and the guidance of the lecturers of the faculty, reflect themselves, their experiences, and their highlights in creative ways.
As the Faculty of Management, we brought together bustling information booths along with delightful food and other stalls. The information booth was designed in a way to provide a deeper understanding of the departments, degree programs offered, and the activities organized annually. Our talented students were able to engage with the audience through different presentations and live demonstrations throughout the day. Furthermore, targeting the students who follow Advanced Level Examinations, school leavers and the students who aim to do their higher studies, an informative session was conducted to equip them with the knowledge and guidance when selecting their preference areas, professional courses, and skills development.
The Department of Business Finance organized a “Pol Roti” stall with “Lunumiris and Bimmal” which got a huge demand from the visitors who gathered on that day. The Department of Human Resource Management sold tote bags and glass bottles while a renowned photo booth was organized by the Department of Marketing Management which attracted many people to collect memories of their visit.
Chai tea and “Murukku” were sold by Department of Management Studies that suited perfectly for the environment and atmosphere of the day and Department of Operations Management had a stall of sausage sandwiches. Apart from those things, interactive games were conducted to check the knowledge of the audience on financial concepts which are essential to people and the winners were also selected and gifted.
Throughout the sessions and the day, a huge engagement was there from the audience by satisfying us for all the efforts that we put together.
As the Open Day drew to a close, the Faculty of Management is fully satisfied with the work done by all of us collaboratively. We believe that, as a faculty, we were able to leave a lasting impression on all who attended. Finally, the Faculty of Management concluded Open Day 2023 as an exceptional success by providing a platform for undergraduates to add limitless experiences to their lives.
