May 4th might be a special day for Star Wars fans, but it was equally wonderful for us at UNM!
On Saturday, 4 May 2024, the Alumni and Donor Relations (ADRO) team, alongside the Student Recruitment team, headed to Johor Bahru for a fantastic Open Day at KSL Hotel & Resort. Following the Open Day, we hosted a delightful Alumni Dinner at the same venue from 7PM to 9PM.
The evening was truly unforgettable, bringing together a vibrant mix of alumni, who mainly graduated from the engineering field. But this doesn’t come off as a surprise, of course.
It was a joyous occasion as we witnessed our alumni reconnect with friends, academics, and fellow graduates both seasoned and recent.
We enjoyed a delicious BBQ dinner prepared by the hotel staff just outside the hall, adding to the casual and fun atmosphere. The night was further enlivened by a game of Nottingham trivia, where attendees had the chance to win exclusive UNM merchandise (yes, the duck plushie was included!).
Our dinner also featured two inspiring alumni speakers who shared their journeys from their days at UNM to their impressive careers today.
The first speaker was Liew Sok Sian, a 2016 Biomedical Sciences alumna who is now an oncology senior sales specialist at AstraZeneca. Following her was the esteemed Ir. Azalea Shezdiana Binti Badrulshah, a 2012 Mechanical Engineering alumna and currently a Senior Design Engineer at Dyson.
We are grateful to these remarkable individuals for taking the time to join us and share their heartfelt stories. Their experiences and successes added a special touch to the evening.
The night was filled with bonding, fun, and inspiration, leaving us eagerly looking forward to our next alumni event.
Stay tuned for more exciting opportunities to reconnect and celebrate our UNM community!
