Healthy Campus Programme The Genesis of A Sustainable Campus Kampus Sejahtera, is a unique USM innovation initiated by the current Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Tan Sri Dato’ Dzulkifli Abdul Razak in 2001 as the Healthy Campus Programme. Sejahtera in Malay embraces peace, harmony, tranquility, wellness and health. There is no equivalent work in English language. As a concept, Kampus Sejahtera is meant to guide the entire USM community from administrators to lecturers, students and support personnel to focus their commitment and responsibility to the university. Every individual has a role to play through personal initiatives, positive attributes, proactive actions and volunteerism in nurturing the development of the campus. It is a framework which encompasses five underlying values. The first is to create a mindset for every individual to take responsibility for the campus. The second value seeks to create spaces, both physical and social, which are conducive for work, play and learning. Thirdly, the practices in the campus must promote the ideas of sustainable development that is environmentally-friendly, pedestrian-friendly, work and peoplefriendly as well as promote healthy lifestyles. The fourth is provision of quality health lifestyles and dental care services to students and staff. Finally, Kampus Sejahtera supports any activity or project which propagates the pursuit of a sustainable campus. “The White Coffin” campaign and “Say No to Plastic Bags” campaign are the latest in a series of student centred activities. Concurrently, other activities that are organised through the Healthy Campus Programme included Earth Hour 2008, students’ recycling programme, Green Office, bicycling, healthy cafeteria, tree planting and others that contribute to the healthy living and a sustainable lifestyle. Follow-up activities included Tapau-mania which was carried out with the support of Tupperware to encourage the campus community to bring their own reusable containers when buying takeaway food at our canteens and the SMS Mi project which stands for “Senyum, Mesra, Saling Menyayangi” which promoted friendship and goodwill amongst the campus community as well as conveying the message of the “Say No To Plastic Bags” campaign in a friendly manner. A monograph of these students’ environmental activism will be published, gathering personal reflections and experiences of students and staff.
