DEPUTY VICE CHANCELLOR SPEECH

Welcome to the Office of Student Affairs & Alumni (HEPA). Alhamdulillah, another new chapter of UTeM has begins with the establishments of the position of Deputy Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs and Alumni (HEPA) replacing the position of Assistant Vice Chancellor.

The primary role of the Office of Student Affairs & Alumni, UTeM, is two-pronged;

i)              Enhancing student development and

ii)             Providing related and relevant services to students

Special to students of UTeM, the consensus aspiration within the university is to uphold the university’s vision to be ‘creative and innovative’ in all aspects of student development agendas. Furthermore, this vision had been reiterated recently through the university’s tagline ‘ Always A Pioneer, Always Ahead’.

This ambitious vision may only be realized and is contingent upon the strong willingness and determination by the students as a whole as well as the entire UTeM’s community. Hence, the various sections and units at the Office of Student Affairs & Alumni will continue to set the impetus for the growth and development of students’ physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, social and leadership skills.  Along with those skills, relevant and positive attributes especially which pertain to entrepreneurship, which is in line with one of UTeM’s Strategic Plan 2012-2020 themes “muolding technopreneurial leader”, and human development will always be made central and given strong emphasis in all students development programmes and activities organize by HEPA.

Thank You
