Transcript of Inti edge issue5
Over 25 academics from five
institutions across the world
graduated simultaneously
after successfully completing
a higher education teaching
and learning course together.
They included lecturers from
INTI International University &
Colleges who received the
Laureate Certificate for
Teaching and Learning in
Higher Education during the
recent virtual graduation, a
first of its kind cloud event.
Access to i n novat i ve
teaching and learning
courses developed by
Laureate Network Products &
Services to advance academic
delivery skills, and a global
academic community within the
world’s largest and fastest
growing network of private higher
education institutions has given
lecturers of INTI a distinct
advantage in upgrading their
abilities as educators.
“I find it enriching to learn about
educational developments
around the world and the latest
methodologies appl ied in
international teaching and
learning to make the students’
learning experience a more
fulfilling one,” said Hannah Lee, a
lecturer at INTI International College
Subang who was among those who
graduated from the Laureate
certificate programme. “I was
honored to have met many
encouraging fellow lecturers from the
dynamic Laureate academic
community.”
Chicago’s No. 1 programme for
preparing students for culinary
careers* is now available to
students in Malaysia following
INTI’s agreement with Kendall
College, USA, to offer a new
culinary arts diploma. The
partnership marks INTI as
Kendall’s first Asian partner to
offer the latter’s cutting-edge
curriculum designed to develop
outstanding culinary skills as well
a s i m p r e s s i v e b u s i n e s s
m a n a g e m e n t a n d
communication capabilities.
“The partnership not only enables
students to pursue the Kendall
College Diploma in Culinary Arts
right here in Malaysia, it also
means that INTI’s students will
have access to lectures at Kendall
College via INTI’s online learning
tools and regular visits by
academics from Chicago,” said
Dr Dominic Szambowski, INTI’s
Executive Dean – Hospitality,
Tourism & Management.
“At Kendall College we strive to go
beyond traditional learning to
cultivate the essential skills needed
to achieve hospitality and culinary
excellence. We look forward to
extending our philosophies to INTI’s
students and are excited to work
wi th lecturer s to enhance
international and real -world
exposure for their students,” said

President, School of Culinary Arts
and noted host of TV show Let’s
Dish.

At INTI International University (INTI IU) the
Student Learning Centre (SLC) plays a
significant role in supporting effective
learning and self-development.
Gaspar-Ndong Edu Mbang, a student
from Equatorial Guinea, shared how
putting his limited abilities in English to
practice at the SLC’s Enrich Your English
sessions helped him master the language
as well as boost his self confidence.
“When I first enrolled at INTI IU, I could
understand very little English because
Spanish is my mother tongue. After
consistently attending SLC’s English
sessions, which allowed me to use English
freely to express my views and ideas in
group discussions and in presentations, I
was able to communicate much better in
English,” he said.
graduates can look forward to
exciting and rewarding careers in the
hospitality industry,” said Ivy Lau,
Chief Executive and Principal of INTI
College Sarawak.
The programme provides a strong
foundation for those who wish to
pursue the Diploma in Hotel
Management or Diploma in Culinary
Arts programme at INTI. The duration
of the programme is 1 year and 4
months inclusive of a 4-month
internship.
The rise in the number of tourist
arrivals in Sarawak indicates the
growing opportunities available to
those seeking a career in the
hospitality sector. Recognizing the
contributions of the tourism and
hospitality industry as a key driver for
socio- economic progress, INTI
College Sarawak is offering the
Certificate in Hotel Operations with
the first intake of students in January
2013.
“The programme, developed by INTI
in collaboration with professionals
from the industry, prepares students
for a wide range of hospitality
related careers. Students will gain
hands-on experience in various
areas of hotel operations and
