Description:
The WacKOS Resource Center is a project intended for the intellectual enrichment of the students of the Kulliyyah of Science. The center aims to provide tools and resources that will enable students to participate in activities geared towards personal growth and independence, which will encourage and allow them to contribute positively to their immediate environment. Although funding and running costs of the project shall initially be borne by the Kulliyyah of Science, the center plans to generate its own supportive income by means of a small café set up within the vicinity. Resources such as books, magazines and other reading materials can be obtained through affiliations with organizations and book clubs around Malaysia. Ultimately the project also plans to fund and support its cause through requests for donations from various companies and non governmental organizations (NGOs), as well as through various fundraising efforts. Currently the WacKOS Resource Center project is in its planning stages, and is looking for more information and feedback.
Background:
The WacKOS Resource Center is a project that aims to provide students of the Kulliyyah of Science (KOS) with a positive environment as well as an effective platform for them to engage in meaningful activities outside of class. Aside from activities, WacKOS is also proposed as a student reference center for reading materials on various topics and genre, including information and resources on KOS-related activities such as Industrial Training and the Final Year Project, which are compulsory undertakings for all KOS students hoping to graduate.
The project title WacKOS is derived from the word wacky, which denotes a touch of unconventionality and uniqueness that is well suited to the spirit of youth for whom this project is tailored. In a sense, it is the project’s very aim to introduce KOS students to a side of them that is less conservative and predictable: a side fed by creativity, individuality and self-reliance. The ultimate objective of WacKOS therefore is to encourage students to break bounds and trigger change by realizing their own personal potential.
In truth, catalyzing such changes isn’t difficult. Students by their youthful nature are motivated towards change, and such motivation, if harnessed and guided in the right path may prove to be an enormous asset not only to the collective student body per se, but to the Kulliyyah at large. On the other hand, motivation alone cannot exact change. It is important that students are furnished with various tools and informative resources that will enable them not only to contribute, but to do so in a positive manner. In this light, the presence of a well equipped youth activity center is essential to ensure that students are given every opportunity to be all that they can be.
Objectives:
The WacKOS Resource Center aims to:
Create a positive and constructive environment where KOS students can relax, unwind and participate in activities outside of class.
Enrich students’ intellect by supplying them with resources of various forms and genres.
Furnish relevant information regarding KOS-related courses such as Industrial training and Final Year Project.
Promote activities both within and outside of the Kulliyyah that are geared towards students’ awareness, independence and personal growth.
