kUALA LUMPUR: Quest International University (QIU), a public-private partnership between QI Group and the Perak state government, aims to increase the number of graduates and develop top talent in Malaysia.
The ASEAN region, with its abundant opportunities, serves as a testament to the potential that awaits those who embrace change with an open heart and a resilient spirit, according to QIU council chairman Datuk Sri Dr. Vijay Eswaran.
QIU recently witnessed hundreds of graduating students at its 7th convocation ceremony, which was presided over by Eswaran and QIU chancellor Tun Arifin Zakaria.
"Today's convocation marks a significant milestone in the lives of our graduates. As they step out into the world, they will encounter a dynamic and ever-changing landscape. Success in this era requires not only the ability to adapt, adjust, and accommodate to the changes that come their way but also the determination to thrive amidst uncertainty," Eswaran said.
Graduates received their diplomas, bachelor's degrees, and postgraduate degrees in six faculties: the Faculty of Business and Management, the Faculty of Computing and Engineering, the Faculty of Integrated Life Sciences, the Faculty of Social Sciences, the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, and the Faculty of Pharmacy.
In a statement, QIU said Bachelor of Pharmacy graduate Leo Shann Ling was named valedictorian for her first-class grades, natural flair for leadership, and keen sense of community service.
She received QIU's top scholastic prize, the Dato' Sri Vijay Eswaran Award 2023.
Meanwhile, Arifin said that university graduates are ambassadors to the world.
He said QIU believes that planting the seeds of curiosity in students inspires them to make 'knowledge-seeking' their quest in life.
"We expect them to dream big, to rise to greatness, and I'm certain they will indeed. They should rest assured that QIU will always be by their side to help their careers take flight and scale new heights of success," he said.
