On 2 November 2019, my wife, Dr. Rahimah Jusoh, a Math lecturer from Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP), received her PHD scroll in mathematics at UKM’s 47th Convocation Ceremony, which run from from Nov 2 until Nov 5.
Graduation is the award of a diploma or academic degree, or the ceremony that is sometimes associated with it, in which students become graduates. The date of graduation is often called graduation day. The graduation ceremony itself is also sometimes called: commencement, convocation or invocation.
Dr Rahimah shares a light moment with UKM Chancellor during the ceremony
UKM Chancellor Yang di-Pertuan Besar Negri Sembilan, Tuanku Muhriz Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Munawir, chaired the first session of the ceremony. In his speech, Tunku Mukhriz said that the awards given out recognise the exemplary excellence nurtured by UKM, which has produced quality graduates in both academic performance and character.
“The university serves as an open platform for exploration and development in various fields of knowledge. However, academic freedom has to be based on truth, scholarship and high integrity as in the end, academic honour will determine the peace and prosperity of the society,” he said.
Congratulations on your great achievement.
