Bringing the IBMBA and GHRM MBA Communities Together

An afternoon of sunshine, water sports, and unforgettable memories at NSYSU. 

On October 15th, students from the National Sun Yat-sen University (NSYSU) IBMBA and GHRM MBA programs gathered at Siziwan Beach for "By-the-Wave at Siziwan", a water sports activity organized to bring students together through an afternoon of adventure, relaxation, and connection. Surrounded by Kaohsiung's beautiful coastline, participants stepped away from their busy academic schedules to enjoy outdoor activities by the sea. 

An Adventure on the Water

The afternoon featured two exciting water sports activities: stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking. Whether students were trying these activities for the first time or simply enjoying time on the water with friends, the event offered a refreshing way to experience Siziwan from a different perspective. 

With the ocean breeze, sunshine, and stunning coastal scenery as the backdrop, students had the chance to challenge themselves, learn new skills, and enjoy the excitement of being out on the water. From paddling across the waves to sharing laughter along the way, the activities created plenty of memorable moments. More than just a sporting event, the afternoon encouraged students to embrace new experiences, step outside their comfort zones, and make the most of their time at NSYSU. 

Safety was also an important part of the experience. Coaches and lifeguards were present throughout the activities to provide guidance and support, helping participants feel comfortable and enjoy their time on the water. This made the event welcoming to students with different levels of experience, including those who were new to water sports. 

By bringing together students from the IBMBA and GHRM MBA programs, the event helped strengthen the sense of community between the two groups. Sharing a new experience, encouraging one another, and enjoying a relaxed afternoon together allowed students to connect in a natural and memorable way. 

Activities like this also reflect the value of student-led initiatives in creating a more vibrant campus community. They offer students the chance to discover common interests, build relationships beyond their usual circles, and develop a stronger sense of belonging at NSYSU.
