Originally, there were two spots available for Social Representative; however, we have only 1 Social Representative as there was only one applicant.
After discussing it together with every representative present, the PTOL 2026 student leadership team would like to get Brianna Cole (Brie) on board as the other Social Representative for PTOL 2026.
Our student leadership team consists of 2x based in Singapore, 1x based in Malaysia, and only 1x based in Japan. We believe that having one more Social Representative based in Japan would be beneficial in engaging the cohort better, such as leading more social gatherings and activities locally.
Brie had lived and worked in Japan for over 15 years and speaks both English and Japanese, and her experience in education and hospitality had led her to understanding different cultures by engaging people from all walks of life.
Since the Pre-MBA days, Brie had been hosting study sessions for our classes, and even now, she is planning a GMAP preparation session too. For the upcoming cohort social gathering in Tokyo, Brie had offered to assist with the local sourcing and reservations as well.
In Brie’s application for the Well-Being Representative role, she had hoped to build a cohort where people look out for one another, where the community grows from the informal conversations and shared experiences outside of the class.
Bringing people together, providing that human touch locally is what we want to achieve, and we believe Brie can help bring us one step closer to achieving that for our cohort!
We’ve reached out to Brie for her statement of this appointment:
Greetings cohort!
I am honored to have been nominated for the second social representative position by our current Student Leadership Representatives. It would be my greatest pleasure to fill this role.
I seek for your support. Thank you!
We’ve contacted Student Services and for a final confirmation before proceeding, we would like to open this up to the cohort of PTOL 2026 to gather your inputs, whether you support this, or would like to raise any objections.
This feedback platform would close by Tuesday, 27 October, 23:59 (JST), and the student leadership team will review all the feedback provided.
We hope to gather your feedback as we strive to deliver a better experience for the PTOL 2026 cohort.
If there are anything that you would like to raise up privately with us, please contact any of the PTOL 2026 student leadership PTOL 2026 Student Leadership Cohort Representative Handi Maharjana Social Representative Godwin Choo Online Representative Loo Boon Loong Well-being Representative Natasha Tan .
