I invite you to join me and fellow alumni, friends and parents of current UC students at one of the functions I am hosting in six cities across Malaysia, and in Singapore between 13 and 23 July.

I am delighted to also invite your partner, and children and friends who may be considering study at UC in the future. Please forward my invitation to other UC alumni you are in contact with. I have also written to you and you will receive my invitation letter shortly.



We will visit Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Miri, Sibu and Singapore. This is the most extensive visit we have undertaken anywhere in the world. It reflects how important our Malaysian and Singaporean alumni and current and future generations of students are to our university. Please see the attached pdf for specific dates, locations and RSVP details.

I want to personally share our story and tell you that UC is very much open for business. The tents have been packed away and teaching and research is in full swing. Our 15,500 students know we are back on track and in a recent survey, over 90 percent said they would recommend UC as a place to study.

During my visit I also want to thank and acknowledge the wonderful generosity of many Malaysian and Singaporean alumni and friends in response to my recent earthquake scholarship appeal. I am overwhelmed by the support the university continues to receive.

I hope you can join me and look forward to meeting you in July. Please RSVP as soon as possible.



Kind Regards

Dr Rod Carr

Vice-Chancellor
