ABOUT US

“Starting with the establishment of the Alumni Unit in 2006, which initially had only 107 alumni, the number grew over the years, leading to the transformation of the unit into the Alumni Development Unit by 2015. Year after year, the Alumni Development Unit continued to build relationships between students and alumni. Once again, the name was changed to the Alumni and Special Tasks Unit. Presently, the Alumni Affairs Unit (PPA) boasts over 26,000 alumni from various nationalities and countries.

The primary objective behind the establishment of PPA is to cultivate a passionate and resilient community that engages alumni intentionally, personally, and professionally. With the increasing number of alumni, PPA’s objectives involve adapting industry standards and best practices to enhance the measurement and monitoring systems for alumni engagement and satisfaction. This is achievable through the existence of two units under PPA: the Development and Promotion Unit (UPP) and the Administration and Finance Unit (UPK).

The establishment of PPA is in line with the original goals of establishing UniMAP, contributing to the country’s development towards becoming a developed nation by 2020. As a center for alumni relations, it is PPA’s responsibility to ensure its presence is relevant, referenced, and respected. PPA must continue to function as a unified unit, carrying out its duties with integrity, dedication, and responsibility to ensure PPA’s vision and mission are achieved. PPA must shape efficient operations to yield a significant impact on all stakeholders, including beneficiaries.

Currently, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) ranks 207th in Asia, climbing four positions from last year’s 211th spot, as announced by Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). UniMAP is also recognized within the top 31 percent of the best universities in Asia and the top 20 universities in Malaysia.

In line with this, PPA remains committed to ensuring UniMAP’s goal of becoming one of the top 500 universities in the world and the top 10 in Asia by 2021 is achieved. Let us join forces and work together to advance the Alumni Relations Center. We humbly seek and pray to Allah S.W.T for the continued strength and benefits that PPA provides to all.”
