University of Andalas’ (UNAND) AIESEC international student organization completed its two-day seminar and interview of their “Exchange Fair No. 2”, yesterday, April 29, 2011.
The three-month preparation for this year’s Exchange Fair has paid off, with more than 75 university students participating in this seminar and on-the-spot interview. Conducted on two different venues and dates, the AIESEC-UNAND’s Exchange Fair was already the second and final run for their introductory exchange program for all interested students. This fair was separately held at University of Andalas last April 27 and at State University of Padang (UNP), yesterday April 29.
The Exchange Fair No. 2 was aimed to develop the interest of different university students to avail the exchange program of the AIESEC student organization in more than 100 countries. Previous exchange participants (EPs) presented their souvenirs from their respective exchange countries and shared their experiences to all exchange fair spectators. To emphasize the significance of going on exchange, speakers YulaindreDarwis, Ph.D and Parhiutanta, S.E. were also invited to separately talk about the advantages and motivating factors of the program.

Ramadhani, the organizing committee president from AIESEC-UNAND, added that this exchange fair was conducted “to help more OGX (Outgoing Exchange) participants” to go through the whole exchange process – interviewing, raising, matching and eventually realizing the program. In addition to this process, there was also a set of criteria for assessing the interested exchange participants: English proficiency, permission letter from parents and an administration fee of 1.3 million Rupiah.
Indeed, 2011’s Exchange Fair has turned out more participants than from last year’s number. Now, with the management of more than 8 organizing committee members, the Exchange Fair No. 2 has delivered its purpose on its final run.
To part, Lydia Elvina, the organizing committee programmer, has expressed her message to the future EPs, “Ingat! (or take care in the Filipino language) I hope when you go to your country, you can achieve your expectations, meet new friends and accomplish even more different expectations than before.”
