SEGi welcomed 2025 with the SCPG Wish Wall, an inspiring initiative designed to encourage goal-setting, self-reflection, and community connection. Running from 6 to 31 January 2025, this interactive display transformed the college lobby into a vibrant space where students and staff penned down their hopes, resolutions, and aspirations for the year ahead. The event served as a symbol of optimism and shared motivation, reinforcing the importance of personal growth and collective well-being.
The act of writing down goals has been proven to increase the likelihood of achieving them, with studies from Dominican University of California showing that individuals who write down their aspirations are 42% more likely to accomplish them. By creating a space where participants could visually express their ambitions, the Wish Wall encouraged mindfulness, motivation, and accountability, aligning with global efforts to promote mental well-being and self-improvement.
Beyond personal development, the initiative fostered a strong sense of community. Research from Harvard Business Review highlights that individuals who share their goals within a supportive environment experience higher success rates and increased motivation. By bringing together students and staff from diverse backgrounds, the Wish Wall created an inclusive and uplifting atmosphere, reinforcing the idea that everyone, regardless of background, has the power to dream big and strive for success.
The event also served as a reminder of the importance of education and lifelong learning. Many participants reflected on academic aspirations, career goals, and skill development, reinforcing the role of education in shaping futures and empowering individuals. According to the United Nations, quality education is a key driver for sustainable development, providing individuals with the tools to improve their lives and contribute meaningfully to society.
As an institution committed to holistic student development, SEGi College Penang continues to integrate initiatives that go beyond academics, ensuring that students are equipped with the mindset, resilience, and ambition to succeed. The Wish Wall’s success highlights the power of reflection, community, and positive thinking in fostering an environment where goals are not just dreams, but achievable realities.
While the event has concluded, the messages left behind serve as constant motivation, reminding students and staff to stay committed to their aspirations throughout the year. More than just a display, the Wish Wall ignited a culture of goal-setting, self-belief, and collective encouragement, making it a defining moment for the start of 2025.
This event is organised in support of the following United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG):
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
