On Saturday, May 18, 2024, the Alumni and Donor Relations (ADRO) team joined forces with the Student Recruitment team for a delightful trip to Penang. Our destination? The elegant Eastern & Oriental Hotel, where we hosted an Open Day followed by a fabulous Alumni Dinner from 7PM to 9PM.
The evening was nothing short of magical, with a lively gathering of alumni, primarily from the engineering faculty, reuniting with friends, academics, and fellow graduates. The atmosphere was filled with joy and camaraderie as we savored a scrumptious dinner expertly prepared by the hotel staff just outside the hall.

Adding to the fun, we engaged in a spirited game of Nottingham trivia, giving attendees the chance to win exclusive UNM merchandise. The excitement was palpable as everyone tested their knowledge and competed for prizes.

The highlight of the night was undoubtedly our trio of alumni speakers, each sharing their inspiring journey from their days at UNM to their successful careers.
