ISDEV DIRECTOR APPOINTED AS ADJUNCT PROFESSOR AT UNISSA

ISDEV Director, Professor Dr. Muhammad Syukri Salleh recently received an appointment as the Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Arabic Language and Islamic Civilization, Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA), Brunei Darussalam from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2017. The appointment is for a term of two years.

As the Adjunct Professor, Prof. Syukri will give his contribution whether in the form of ideas, energy and expertise to the development, performance and excellence of the Faculty of Arabic Language and Islamic Civilization of UNISSA.
Fulfilling his duties as an Adjunct Professor - upon arrival at the Brunei  International Airport. Welcoming his arrival is Dr. Siti Sara Hj Ahmad (2nd from left), Dean of the Faculty of Arabic Languages and Islamic Civilization and Dr. Hjh Rasinah Hj Ahim (left), Dean of Centre for Postgraduate Studies and Research of Universiti Islam Sultan Sharif Ali (UNISSA).

Generally an Adjunct Professor is an honorary title accorded to professionals, corporate leaders and others who have expertise and experience in a particular field. They are usually appointed as part-time teaching staff of higher learning institutions. Thus, Prof. Syukri anticipates that with the trust bestowed on him by UNISSA, his visits to UNISSA will be more frequent to carry out his duties as an Adjunct Professor. However, Prof. Syukri is resolute, determined and confident that he will ensure his primary duties as a lecturer and Director of ISDEV at USM are attended to foremost each and every time before he leaves for UNISSA.

For his maiden official visit as an Adjunct Professor at UNISSA, Prof. Syukri was flown to Brunei Darussalam on 26 July 2015. He is there for a week to carry out his duties as Adjunct Professor - the first of which is the welcoming and seeing to the initial needs and welfare of the 22 ISDEV postgraduate students who are there for a whole month on the "Makmal Sosio-Akademik ISDEV-UNISSA Pertama" programme or also known as "MASA@UNISSA".

Prof. Syukri, heartiest congratulations on the much revered appointment!
