Showing the unlimited capacity of
successive lecturers and the class and grandeur of undergraduates possess, The
Motivational Speech Session 2015 of University of Colombo School of Computing, organized
by the IEEE Women In Engineering Student Branch Affinity Group of UCSC was held
on the 27th of August 2015 at the Mini Auditorium in a spectacular
manner. The event took place from 2.00 p.m. onwards. The theme of this year’s
session was “She believed she could, so she did”.
Dr.(Mrs.) Shiromi
M.K.D.Arunathilake,Dr.(Mrs.)Yamaya Ekanayaka and Dr.(Mrs.)Chalani Oruthotaarachchi
graced the occasion as the guest speakers. Many items such as motivational
speeches and motivational videos were presented. The most outstanding feature was
that all the guest speakers were lecturers of the UCSC. The participation of
many undergraduates from 1st and 2nd years’ about 100 were
seen. Undergraduates namely Tharushi Perera, Dhanushka Umayangani, Asha
Madushani and Fathima Humairah won prizes from the Q & A session.
Abolishing the age-old tradition
of male dominance, this session introduced the concept of how high the ladies
can reach midst different challenges. The valuable speeches held on success
stories of female lecturers took much attention of the audience. Most
importantly undergraduates achieved a true and in-depth understanding and
appreciation of the power of young ladies as represented by the interesting
stories.
In that light, it is safe to say that
the participants of this session had a lesson of a lifetime! The session was conducted
with the intention of uplifting the life status of ladies, manifested the organizing
ability of undergraduates truly initiating the dawn of a new era. It was the
first time that IEEE WIE of UCSC had ever staged an event.
It was in fact, a total success. However,
the success of the event was determined by those in audience, honored lecturers
and fellow colleagues. It was their presence that truly valued.
