Media Cell, IIM Ahmedabad launches FacConnect – a unique social interaction initiative
The Media Cell of IIM Ahmedabad - the official student media channel of the institute - is pleased to announce the launch of ‘FacConnect’, a unique social media initiative that is aimed at extending the institute’s online outreach and provide a platform for interaction.
FacConnect will give interested people on the online community an opportunity to interact with esteemed faculty members of IIM Ahmedabad and engage in discussions with them on a set of chosen topics. The initiative is being launched through IIM Ahmedabad’s official social media channels on Facebook and Twitter.
FacConnect is slated to be a monthly feature, with participants getting the chance to interact with a new faculty member each month. Interested netizens will have to go through an online submission and shortlisting process and the shortlisted candidates will get an opportunity to participate in Google Hangout with an IIMA faculty member. The topic of discussion will be related to a new area each month, such as Public Systems, Business Policy, Marketing, Ethics of Business etc. The event is primarily aimed at people who are presently studying at an undergraduate/postgraduate/professional degree level; or are employed but have a keen interest on such topics.
Although the topics of discussion in each edition of FacConnect will be related to an area of management or business administration, it will be broad enough to allow unhindered participation of people with no management education background. The shortlisting will be done on the basis of answers/essays submitted by the participants in response to the questions posed to them.
The goal of the event is to provide an opportunity to people to have a one-on-one discussion with an IIMA Professor on any issue they feel strongly about. We are confident of receiving a favorable response to this initiative, as well as look forward to the successful candidates taking home memories that they will cherish for a lifetime.
More details about the event can be found on the institute’s official Facebook and Twitter pages:
