The Embassy of the United Arab Emirates and the University of Muhammadiyah Malang cooperate in many aspects, including health, human resources and education. The Great Ambassador of the UAE, Abdulla Salem Al-Daheri, asserted the idea when visiting UMM on 13th December 2022. He also had a chance to deliver scientific oration and motivation in front of the graduates of the White Campus.
Abdullah, as familiarly called, values that every student who has earned their bachelor’s degree must be initiated to continue their degree at an advanced level. Gaining a bachelor’s degree does not mean that everything ends; instead, it is the beginning journey of real life. He also advised the graduates to achieve success with the effort of self-potential and passion maximisation. Then, self-capacity and capability can be the crucial keys to reaching successful life.
