UMP feted staff who completed their studies and the university’s retirees

 

Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) feted 28 staff and fellows who had completed their PhD studies in 2018 as well as staff who had retired in an event held at Tun Abdul Razak Chancellery Banquet Hall in UMP Pekan Campus on December 19, 2018.

The event was part of the initiative and commitment by the management to consistently reach out and interact with employees and retirees in a more familial setting.

It was a mark of appreciation and gratitude from UMP staff to the retirees for their services, dedication and sacrifice that had contributed towards UMP’s excellence.

UMP Vice-Chancellor, Professor Dato’ Sri Dr. Daing Nasir also congratulated staff and fellows who had completed their studies within the stipulated time and hoped that they would continue to carry out their duties and contribute towards the university’s excellence.

“The number of lecturers with PhD degrees in UMP has reached 69.9% and this achievement will certainly give an impact on the university’s agenda on excellence as well as fulfil its objective on Academic Excellence in its Strategic Plan 2016-2020.

“UMP also introduced UMP Alumni Corporate Card to the retirees that allowed them access to services and facilities offered in the library, security division, the health centre, sports and cultural centre and several of UMP responsibility centres,” he said.

It would bring about a sense of belonging and for them to feel that they would always be part of the university, he added.

Also present at the event were Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic & International), Professor Ir. Dr. Wan Azhar Wan Yusoff, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Research & Innovation), Professor Dato’ Dr. Mashitah Mohd Yusoff, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Student Affairs & Alumni), Professor Dato’ Dr. Yuserrie Zainuddin and Chief Operation Officer/Registar Abd.
