A WALKABOUT TOUR TO AAGBS, FACULTY OF LAW AND A HOMECOMING TO INQKA

LAWATAN KE AAGBS, FAKULTI UNDANG-UNDANG DAN MENJENGAH KEMBALI KE INQKA

The Arshad Ayub Graduate Business School now has 1,006 active students studying in post-graduate programmes such as MBA, MIBF, DBA, and PhD, as well as two executive programmes. AAGBS now has three foreign visiting academics from HFT Stuttgart in Germany, Yamaguchi University in Japan, and Durham University in the United Kingdom, as well as 12 international partners. With its MBA Dual Programmes with HFT Stuttgart, Germany, I encourage the school to develop a new strategy for recruiting new students to PG programmes.
I applaud InQKA (Institute of Quality and Knowledge Advancement) for implementing a budgetary dashboard as a new improvement platform in managing the institute's operational budget and continuously improving the university's quality system and management through numerous exercises, activities, and stakeholder engagements. In addition, I am looking forward to attending the UiTM Innovation Day and the iAKNC (i-Vice Chancellor's Quality Awards) in November. To be honest, I'm ecstatic to reconnect with and greet each and every one of them.
At the same time, I ran across the Ranking Department team and took the opportunity to take a group shot with them. I'm looking forward to meeting you all soon, in the next event.
To conclude the session, I went to the Faculty of Law, where I observed a significant improvement in the faculty's academic presence as where they are beginning to explore new specialty areas in medical law. I commend the staff at the Faculty of Law for their great teamwork in striving for a better global presence. You acknowledged your weakness, strategized well, and put the strategy into action. As a result, you are now seeing some good changes.
Associate Dr Wan Liza Md Amin joined the discussion from Scotland during a hybrid meet-up. She is currently on sabbatical at the University of Edinburgh as a fellow. Another inspirational story that piqued my interest was that of a Star student in semester 6 who is participating in the UiTM mobility programme. Yaroslav Marozov is from Ukraine, and he has demonstrated that the time difference between the two nations should not be a barrier to his completion of the programme. He wakes up and sleeps according to Malaysian time in order to attend lectures taught by the academics at the UiTM’s Faculty of Law. It is hoped that UiTM students would use this as motivation for them to excel. The sky is the limit!

Ketika ini, Arshad Ayub Graduate Business School mempunyai 1,006 pelajar aktif yang mengikuti pengajian pasca-siswazah seperti MBA, MIBF, DBA dan PhD serta dua program eksekutif. Kini, AAGBS mempunyai tiga professor antarabangsa dari HFT Stuttgart, Germany, Yamaguchi University, Japan dan Durham University, UK serta 12 rakan global. Dengan Program Dwi MBA bersama HFT Stuttgart, Jerman, saya menyarankan agar AAGBS merangka strategi baharu untuk merekrut pelajar baharu ke programnya.
Saya ingin mengucapkan tahniah kepada InQKA (Institut Kualiti dan Pengembangan Ilmu) kerana berjaya melaksanakan papan pemuka belanjawan sebagai pembaharuan terkini dalam pengurusan belanjawan operasi institusi dan terus meningkatkan sistem dan pengurusan kualiti universiti melalui pelbagai program, aktiviti, dan penglibatan pihak berkepentingan. Dalam pada itu, saya menzahirkan rasa teruja untuk menghadiri Hari Inovasi UiTM dan iAKNC (i-Anugerah Kualiti Naib Canselor) pada bulan November. Sejujurnya, saya sangat gembira untuk bertemu semula dan bertanya khabar dengan setiap ahli InQKA.
Pada masa yang sama, saya sempat bersua dengan pasukan Jabatan Penarafan dan mengambil kesempatan untuk sesi bergambar dengan mereka. Saya tidak sabar untuk bertemu dengan anda semua dalam program seterusnya.
Untuk mengakhiri sesi, saya telah melawat Fakulti Undang-undang, di mana saya melihat peningkatan yang ketara dalam ketampakan akademik fakulti, di mana mereka mula meneroka bidang kepakaran baharu iaitu perundangan perubatan. Saya amat bangga dengan warga staf di Fakulti Undang-Undang atas kerjasama pasukan yang terbaik dalam usaha untuk mempertingkat ketampakan global fakulti. Anda mengenalpasti kekurangan yang ada, mengatur strateginya dengan baik, dan seterusnya melaksanakan tindakan strategi tersebut. Hasilnya, anda kini melihat beberapa perubahan yang memberangsangkan.
PM Dr Wan Liza Md Amin menyertai perbincangan hari ini dari Scotland dalam mod hibrid. Dia kini menjalani sabatikal di University of Edinburgh sebagai felo. Kisah inspirasi lain yang menarik minat saya adalah kisah seorang pelajar cemerlang yang kini di semester 6 mengikuti program mobiliti UiTM. Yaroslav Marozov berasal dari Ukraine, dan dia telah membuktikan bahawa perbezaan waktu antara kedua-dua negara bukan penghalang untuk menamatkan program tersebut. Beliau bangun dan tidur mengikut waktu Malaysia untuk menghadiri kuliah yang diajar oleh para akademik di Fakulti Undang-Undang UiTM. Diharapkan para pelajar UiTM menggambil kisah ini sebagai motivasi untuk cemerlang. The Sky is the Limit!
