From the very first day of the first year to the unexpected last day of the fourth year, the journey you've all been through: whether they be the planned events being masterfully executed, the unplanned moments being surprisingly entertaining, it cannot be denied that it's been an unforgettable one. So settle down and join us to take a trip down nostalgia lane and have the not-to-have-been farewell speeches(or the best version of it we could make happen during these trying times) by the Batch of 2020. You guys have been truly inspiring to the rest of us. Much love. Viva La Vida.

EP#04 COLLEGE CULTURE, GENDER DISPARITY & CHANGE OF MINDSET

For the fourth episode of THE MEC PODCAST, we've decided to do something different. The past episodes have focused on particular MECians, their stories, dreams and opinions. This time however, we've agreed to use our platform to address certain cultures propagated around colleges, which spills into our society(vice versa too). Instead of talking to one single person, we've invited a panel of people to collect different views to understand and communicate to our audience how particular customs being promoted can negatively impact communities in ways, both observable and obscure. Join us in this 4-section episode and listen to discussions on College Culture, Gender Disparity and A Change of Mindset.
