Message from the EB
Summer is approaching and while other LCs are
taking a break AIESEC KPU continues to work
hard. We appreciate all of the effort everybody put
into last recruitment, and are excited to see where
we take AIESEC KPU next. Let us continue to
discover our potential and help other youth
develop theirs.
As the late Bob Marley spoke, “The people, who
were trying to make this world worse... are not taking
a day off. How can I? Light up the darkness”.

Newbies
Summer recruitment is over, and although we did not
reach our goal of six new members for the semester we
acquired TWO quality recruits. Ryan will be helping CR
and getting us more TNs, and Kiran will be working with
TM to help keep us all sane. Welcome to the team!

Events
Back 2 School Event
The back 2 school event will no longer be happening. Our
COMMrades have realized that the work we put in to
make this event happen will have little return on
investment.

Stand Out!
TM is organizing a 2 hour seminar about how to be
different among our colleagues. It will be held in the
Surrey conference center on Friday June 29th from
10:30am-12:30pm. This event is mandatory due to the fact
that we will have external speakers
and attendance is a way to show
respect, gratitude, and legitimize our
organization.
If you have any ideas or would like to
help please contact Amrita
KED Talks
Beginning the second week of September we will be
hosting a seminar series called KED (Kwantlen
Educational Development) Talks. This series is a way for
us to connect the KPU community of various disciplines,
with AIESEC. Not only this, but our public & university
relations, credibility, branding, and overall experience will
be heightened as a result of this event.
The following is a list of the seminars:
1. Sept. 13: Social Media & Technological Advancement
2. Sept. 20: Finance Management
6
3. Sept. 27: Networking & Communication
4. Oct. 4: Creativity & Thought
5. Oct. 11: Emotional Intelligence
If you would like to get involved or have any ideas
please contact Hardeep

Portfolio Party
OGX
Unfortunately, one of our raised EPs did not correctly fill out some paper
work and was unable to begin her developmental traineeship in Brazil. But,
through the hard work of our OGX team, we were FINALLY, after three
years, able to match our first EP!
Recently, one our AIESEC KPU exchange participants, Irwin Chahal, was accepted
for a traineeship with LC Manama for The Colors of Bahrain Project – AIESEC
Bahrain in April, 2012 for a total period of 6 weeks. He will be returning in early
June, 2012.
The Colors of Bahrain Project objective is to create the largest scale-map of a
country ever made as proportion to the country area by adding up individual
drawings of school students displaying their ideas about Arab culture. The map is
intended to get the certification by Guinness World Records Ltd. The map is being
assembled at the Prince Khalifa park.
For this internship, the
team gathered from all
parts of the globe to
immerse them in the
AIESEC culture and
improve their
leadership skills. They
are also running a short
film, which describes
Bahrain in a coherent
manner to the
international audience;
8
the film will be short, in Bahrain, and will contain the adequate journey of a man
as he discovers the fine offerings of the country and also finds himself along the
process.
Irwin participated in a press conference on Monday, May 14th, 2012 unveiling the
plans of the The Colors of Bahrain Project at the Movenpick Hotel, Muharraq,
Bahrain, with fellow international interns as well as the local committee members
of Manama, Bahrain. The press conference was featured in the local publication,
The Gulf Daily News.
To quote Irwin on our last interaction “[I’m] legit as the first KPU OGX tell Saveena
to have my picture on the wall ready and my letter of recommendation.” Irwin’s
request is currently pending.
AIESEC KPU looks forward to Irwin’s return and the many experiences and stories
he brings back with him to share.-Richard Hosein
COMM
Our website is looking amazing. It is finally presentable!
Facebook likes appear to be increasing weekly as we
move into our Stand Out! Campaign. However, our Twitter
feed is dead. Let’s talk to more Tweeple!
We had great presence on Richmond and Surrey campus
during welcome week and orientation. Comm, TM and
even CR came out and represented us exceptionally well.
Most students and professors are recognizing the AIESEC
brand and beginning to understand our purpose. Let’s
keep it going!

Finance
After successful submission of lengthy paperwork to (
Human Resources and Skills Development Canada) by
the Finance team, AIESEC KPU, for the very first time
have been picked out of many competitors and granted
sponsorship for a summer marketer by the government of
Canada.
CR/ICX
Unfortunately, AIESEC KPU will no longer be working with
SEEDs. On the bright side though, we are getting close to
matching our TN with Kitply Industries. The company has
found someone they like and we may be welcoming
someone from Morocco once Kitply makes their final
decision.
The position for a summer marketer has not been filled so
if you need a summer job this is a great opportunity.
For more information Please contact Derek
TM
The June 24th GA is optional as it will be a social GA.
Further details regarding location will be e-mailed by
George.
Personal Development Talks (PDTs) with TM have begun.
Remember to think about your personal goals and your
10
goals within AIESEC. Please schedule your PDT time with
George as soon as possible. TM needs to do these once a
quarter, so the faster we get it done the more time we
have to focus on everything else.

Conference Mania!
AIESEC International Public Relations Conference
AIESEC SFU had the opportunity to act as the North American
hub for the AI PR Conference late April. Our VP COMM, Hardeep,
represented KPU before AIESEC, SFU, UBC, Toronto, Seattle,
and Peter G. our former MCP.
Together we came up with three strategies on how to improve
consistency among public relations and marketing of the AIESEC
Brand worldwide.
NLDC 2012
NLDC came and went early May. Saveena, Sam, and Brian
attended on behalf of KPU. Unfortunately they did not experience
the same level of awesomeness that delegates to previous
NLDCs have experienced. Brian did get the opportunity to have
dinner with someone very interesting though!

WRC 2012/NC 2012
AIESEC SFU will be hosting WRC 2012 in October. This means
no flight fees for us! WOO!
AIESEC Edmonton won the bid to host NC 2012 at the end of
December. Cheap flights! WOO!
For those of you who have yet to attend a conference WRC is the
cheapest option. It can be free if you choose to use your school of
business conference fund. Talk to your employers, family, any
other obligations now. Further details will be provided close to the
dates.
And that, KPU, is what’s up.
