The KDU Comperes’ Club Executive Committee (EXCO) 2025/2026 was inducted on April 23.
The Chief guest, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Defence and Administration) Brigadier Pradeep Ratnayake, expressed his appreciation about the novel initiative introduced by the founder and advisor of the Comperes’ Club Dr Dhinesha Perera.
The Comperes’ Workshops in Retrospect book was launched at the ceremony, and badges awarded to Club President-Day Scholar Subhavi Hansani and 11 EXCO members. Guests were presented with a trademark delicacy biscuit crafted especially for the ceremony.
A video showcasing trilingual compering talents of students delighted the audience. The objective of the club is not to just develop student announcers for KDU but to expand the limits to societal good and non-profit value.
The EXCO under the guidance of its advisor, intends to organise training programmes for school-level comperes, and impart skills to less fortunate persons. The club also aims to facilitate announcing and presenting foreign events in other languages as well.
