<p>Chinese New Year is just around the corner and many of us are gearing up to prepare for the annual celebration. For the Chinese, it is a celebration deeply rooted in culture and tradition.</p>
<p>At the Graduate School, our tradition involves coming together to celebrate this festive occasion with our postgraduate students. This year, our joyous gathering took place on 31 January, a prelude to the upcoming holidays and an auspicious start to the Year of the Dragon.</p>
<p>The celebratory luncheon witnessed a lively turnout of our postgraduate community, indulging in a delectable array of local dishes that added a flavourful touch to the festivities.</p>
<p>A warm welcome address was delivered by Professor Maniam Kaliannan, Associate Dean of Graduate School, setting the tone for a successful year ahead.</p>

<p><span style="color: #005697;"><strong>A cheer to an auspicious and prosperous year </strong></span></p>
<p>As we usher in the Year of the Dragon, we look forward to a year filled with growth, success, and a continued sense of community. May the festivities of this early celebration set the stage for a successful and fulfilling year for our postgraduate community.</p>
<p>Wishing everyone an abundance of prosperity, good fortune, and happiness in the Year of the Dragon! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f409.png" alt="🐉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f38a.png" alt="🎊" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

<p>We hosted an Early Christmas and Year End luncheon for our postgraduate students on Wednesday 13 December 2023. This luncheon went beyond our usual festive gathering for our postgraduate students, it was also an extra special occasion for us to express our appreciation to the dedicated members of staff of the University, from both the academic and professional services, who have generously contributed to and supported the Graduate School in enhancing the postgraduate student experience throughout the year.</p>

<p>In a quest to demystify the intricate process of thesis publication, our postgraduate research students gathered on 29 November 2023 for a dynamic colloquium centred around the theme of getting thesis published. This colloquium delved into the what, why and how of effective thesis publication, aiming to empower our postgraduate research students with the knowledge and confidence as they step into the complex world of academic publishing.</p>
<p>The colloquium, featuring expert speakers and interactive sessions, not only provided valuable insights and networking opportunities but also offered participants with practical strategies to navigate the intricate process of getting their theses published.</p>
<p><span style="color: #005697;"><strong>Unraveling the world of academic publishing</strong></span></p>
<p>The renowned aphorism &#8220;publish or perish&#8221; underscores the significance of publishing in academia, marking a crucial step in the research life cycle. To shed light on the intricacies of this process, <a href="https://www.nottingham.edu.my/Biosciences/People/asgar.ali">Professor Asgar Ali</a> led the first session, offering profound insights into the art of publishing.</p>
<p><span style="color: #005697;"><strong>Overcoming the fear of writing and publishing</strong></span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.nottingham.edu.my/Engineering/People/kasturi.muthoosamy">Dr Kasturi Muthoosamy</a> spearheaded the second session, delivering invaluable insights on overcoming the challenges of writing and publishing. This session provided a roadmap for participants to navigate the often-daunting aspects of scholarly writing and publishing.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #005697;">Learning from experience </span></strong></p>
<p>The colloquium also featured a session featuring success stories from our alumna, Dr Hal Mahera Ahmad, and our senior postgraduate research student, Booi Han Ni. They provided insightful details on the &#8216;what, why, and how&#8217; of their journey, covering the successful publication of research works, including articles and book chapters.</p>
<p><span style="color: #005697;"><b>Transforming</b></span><strong><span style="color: #005697;"> thesis into published masterpiece</span></strong></p>
<p>The day proved to be one of enlightenment, collaboration, and the key to unlocking the potential of research. The sessions offered not only valuable insights and practical guidance but also provided a unique opportunity for our postgraduate research students to connect with experts in the field.</p>
<p>A recurring theme throughout the colloquium urged participants not to let their theses gather dust but to view them as cornerstones of academic legacies with a lasting impact. With it, we hope to empower our postgraduate research students to embark on a transformative journey, turning their theses into published masterpieces.</p>
<p>This colloquium stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to supporting and guiding our postgraduate research students in their pursuit of scholarly excellence.</p>
<hr />
<p>Special acknowledgments and heartfelt thanks to Professor Asgar Ali, Dr Kasturi Muthoosamy, Dr Hal Mahera Ahmad, and Booi Han Ni for their invaluable contributions. Their time, expertise, and insights greatly enriched the colloquium experience.</p>

<p><span style="color: #005697;"><strong>Welcome to our vibrant community </strong></span></p>
<p>Our recent postgraduate research induction, held on Friday 27 October 2023, was a pivotal platform for us to establish direct and meaningful conversations with our new postgraduate research students. This induction brought together fresh faces and our dedicated Graduate School team. It went beyond its fundamental purpose of acquainting newcomers with postgraduate research life and resources.</p>
<p>We place great importance on cultivating a sense of community among our postgraduate research students. We believe that successful research thrives in an atmosphere of collaboration, inspiration, and support. Our induction was designed to be the first step in introducing this spirit of camaraderie to our new postgraduate research students.</p>
<p><a href="http://blogs.nottingham.edu.my/postgraduate/files/2023/10/20231027_143636-scaled.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-67240 size-large" src="http://blogs.nottingham.edu.my/postgraduate/files/2023/10/20231027_143636-1024x484.jpg" alt="" width="675" height="319" srcset="http://blogs.nottingham.edu.my/postgraduate/files/2023/10/20231027_143636-1024x484.jpg 1024w, http://blogs.nottingham.edu.my/postgraduate/files/2023/10/20231027_143636-300x142.jpg 300w, http://blogs.nottingham.edu.my/postgraduate/files/2023/10/20231027_143636-768x363.jpg 768w, http://blogs.nottingham.edu.my/postgraduate/files/2023/10/20231027_143636-1536x726.jpg 1536w, http://blogs.nottingham.edu.my/postgraduate/files/2023/10/20231027_143636-2048x968.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 675px) 100vw, 675px" /></a></p>
<p>Led by our Associate Dean of Graduate School, Professor Maniam Kaliannan, together with our dedicated Graduate School staff, the induction covered essential topics ranging from academic guidelines to crucial training programs and resources. This ensured a robust foundation for our new postgraduate research students as you begin your research journey. Networking over light refreshments served as an icebreaker, adding to the warm atmosphere of support and welcome.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #005697;">Your postgraduate voice </span></strong></p>
<p>Beyond the informative presentations, we had the privilege of introducing the Students&#8217; Association (SA) and the Postgraduate Students’ Network (PGSN) through an introductory presentation by the outgoing SA Postgraduate Students&#8217; Officer, Muhamad Hishamudin bin Mohmad Hasim.</p>
<p>PGSN serves as the voice of postgraduate students at UNM and is committed to enhancing postgraduate student experience. As an integral part of our close-knit community, PGSN plays a vital role in fostering connections, providing support, and advocating for postgraduate needs.</p>
<p>Hisham&#8217;s tenure concludes at the end of this month in October, and the announcement of the newly elected representative will be made in due course. Stay tuned for updates, which will be communicated through PGSN&#8217;s social media channels on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/postgraduatestudentsnetworkUNMC">Facebook</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/pgsn_unm/">Instagram</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #005697;"><strong>Our unwavering commitment </strong></span></p>
<p>Our induction serves as the beginning of a meaningful relationship with our postgraduate research students. As you commence your postgraduate research journey, the Graduate School will be there as a trusted companion, guide, and source of unwavering support. The adventure of postgraduate research is not a solitary endeavor but a shared voyage, and we are excited to see where this journey takes you.</p>
<p><span style="color: #00ccff;"><strong>Welcome on board, where your postgraduate research ambition comes to life!</strong></span></p>
