GOMBAK, 9 January 2025: <\/strong>Teaching English as Second Language Students\u2019 Society (TESS) organised its annual event, TESL Night to celebrate the conclusion and change of tenure from 23\/24 to 24\/25 in the Banquet Hall of IIUM Gombak on 27 December 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It had the ‘royalty’ theme, as all participants donned suits and beautiful gowns – the event began with an opening speech by TESS advisor, Dr. Haziqah Zulaikha. In her remarks, she expressed her appreciation towards the 23\/24 tenure in bringing the department to life through many successful programs and hoped the new tenure would continue to flourish. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a speech by 23\/24 TESS president, Nur Irdina binti Zanum, acknowledged her members’ hard work and dedication, asserting, \u201cYou have given your best and I very much appreciate it.\u201d She then thanked Dr. Haziqah, saying \u201cYour guidance has been my anchor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLeadership is not about who is the loudest or the boldest, but rather who is leading with heart and sincerity because, in the end, it is the mark you leave behind that matters,\u201d she added as she marked the conclusion of her tenure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
