Dorm Makeover Contest

“Manage your desk before you manage your company.” – Dan Li, MBA 2009, (Room 502)

This sums up the idea behind the AIM students' Dorm Makeover Contest.

Initiated by Oni Brotoseno (Indonesia), Nurkholis Majid(Indonesia) and Moncy Varghese (India), the “Dorm Makeover” contest aims to bring out the creative juices among students by requiring them to fix and beautify their rooms. At the same time, the process instills the discipline of maintaining an orderly room and desk, amidst the heavy demands of their courses. The dorm serves as the students’ home and sanctuary during their whole stay at AIM.
