Jayaram Menon, who is the Malaysia Mensa Penang branch chairman, said those attending the programme would ex change knowledge in the leadership field.
“We are also required to participate in seminars and present paper,” he said.
Mensa, founded in Britain in 1946, is the largest and oldest high intelligence quotient (IQ) society in the world.
It currently has around 11,000 members in 100 countries.
This news clip appeared in The Star, Friday 16 July 2010. Congrats to Jay!
If you want to know how to get a scholarship to study in the USA, or want to know what the criteria and requirements are for US Ivy League universities, then you must not miss the US Applications Workshop organised by Mensa member, Mr Yeoh Chen Chow. Mensa Penang organised a talk with Chen Chow a few years ago and it was so well-received! The room was standing space only when we organised the talk in 2006 and 2007.
He’s back again and he will be in Penang.
He and his team will be in Penang to share with you all the things you need to know before you apply for any US university.
Don’t miss this! It’s on 26th June, 2pm-6pm at Penang’s INTI International College. And it’s FREE!
