The KDI School is not unkind as to leave its students staring at their books and monitors all the time. The School’s philosophy inculcates keeping academic and social life in tandem as there cannot be healthy, good-spirited, and educated community without balancing the relation between the two.

To achieve this goal, the School organizes various indoor and outdoor activities to which   students are contributors and beneficiaries of the activities. Indeed, almost all clubs are headed by students though faculty and staff might be members.

Students’ representative is among the many groups that add spice to our life at KDI School. Unlike others, this is a multipurpose group. It closely works with the Student Affairs Division on every aspect to create a conductive environment for students. But this does not mean that students’ representatives work here and there without specialization. Happy hour is an exclusive domain of this group. In fact this year’s representatives go beyond organizing happy hour events.

Despite the growing study pressure, representatives of 2013 KDI School students promise to make every single hour in KDI School happy.  Indeed, they have shown their talent and commitment in the first happy hour on 29 March 2013.

The art they applied in introducing themselves to the KDI School community during the happy hour has made them look like actors and actresses rather than mere students. The effort they have made to generate creative ideas and the time they have spent for training shows their sheer readiness to make future events happy.
