GOMBAK, 16 DECEMBER 2014: Almost one month after the IIUM campus election and almost three weeks after the Syura meeting of SRC 2014/2015, finally today we had the most awaited ceremony for the new office-bearers of Students Representative Council 2014/2015.
Dressed in formal attire, in an official ceremony in front of the administration of IIUM, the Baiah Ceremony of SRC 2014/2015 took place. All the new SRC Executive Council members had officially taken their Baiah, witnessed by the University Management Committee and the respective Dean and Deputy Dean of each Kulliyyah.
This ceremony was such an important thing because the Rector of IIUM, Prof. Dato Sri Dr. Zaleha Kamaruddin had to endorse the new office-bearers.
In her speech, the Rector expressed expectations for the SRC 2014/2015 to play its role. She said SRC must be committed to cooperate with the University in pursuing IIUM’s mission of Triple ICE. She also shared tips on how to be a successful leader; not to be greedy except to seek knowledge, be brave and not have extreme fear, and put an extreme of hope.
“SRC is a council of the students, for the students, and by the students,” she said.***
