its establishment in June 1969, <strong>USM</strong> has registered remarkable accomplishments in<br />
teaching and learning as well as research and innovation activities thus giving merit to<br />
the status that was be queathed upon the institution. Furthermore, the university is<br />
well-poised to attain world-class status as it has built the basic infrastructure needed<br />
to be more competitive at the global level including the potential to attract quality staff<br />
and students both locally and abroad. Following its role as the secretariat to the <strong>USM</strong>-<br />

in facilitating the programmes under the 9 working committees that were established<br />
to undertake projects that relate to the concentration of talent, the transformation of<br />
nurturing and learning to accomplish resources and supportive governance as well as<br />
