Its Vice Chancellor Datuk Dr Noor Azlan Ghazali said Malaysians place high hopes on UKM to be an institution of higher learning moulded on national aspirations to be able to contribute towards improving the wellbeing of the people.

Thus its graduates should be mindful of such aspirations, he said when opening a three day course for residential colleges Fellows at Dusun Eco Resort in Bentung recently.

He said the fellows carry with them the high responsibility of guiding the students to ensure activities they carried out meet such aspirations.
