IIUM is now having her 26th Convocation (2nd - 4th Oct 2010), which means that IIUM has already produced 26 batches of graduands. That also means that three years have passed since we (Class of 2007) received our scrolls.
Every batch (Class) may have its own uniqueness. We would always remember the 2007 convocation as it was the last batch to wear songkok and the classic (instead of 'old') robes during the ceremony. And for me, mortar boards are not bad, of course with the new robes (started in 2008). Well, I wrote something on the issue of songkok 2 years ago.. IIUM says Good bye to Songkok.

I believe that the number of graduands that IIUM produces every year becomes higher and higher. That's a good indicator that IIUM has been well-recognized and accepted by Malaysians and the International communities. May IIUM will keep producing graduands not only better in quantity, but also better in quality.
On the 1st day of convocation..I somehow feel that the presence of the Azman Hashim Complex has spoiled the convocation countryside. Previously, it was the most ideal and nice side for all the graduands and families to having their photography sessions, meeting friends, and so on..
Congratulation to all graduands (Class of 2010) who have successfully completed their degrees here, either Bachelor, Masters, or PhD. Receiving a scroll, especially from IIUM, does not merely mean a success in academic world, but the scroll also carries the amanah from Allah. Everyone of us is responsible to always contribute back to Islam, to serve the best for the development of ummah and nations.
