A “Thor-riffic” Movie Premier by KDU UC Alumni’s CORE

PETALING JAYA, Saturday, 09th of November 2013 – KDU University College has come a long way in its 30 year history from a single dedicated campus in Damansara Jaya. Amongst its most recent and notable achievements was the change in status from KDU College to KDU University College. In light with this milestone achievement, KDU’s Alumni Association also evolved, rebranded and just held its first event under its new identity: KDU University College’s Alumni CORE.

The rebranding of the Association was kicked off with exclusive movie premier event, only open to alumni of KDU College and KDU University College. “One of the problems is the sheer number of alumni we have,” explained Alumni President Claudine Sherry Robson, “So many of our alumni are either international students or Malaysians with a career that has taken them abroad. Of our 45,000 alumni, we believe that only 10,000 or so are still based locally in Malaysia.”

The event was somewhat smaller scale than anticipated with over 150 alumni attending the movie premier and rebranding of the Alumni association. Indeed, the feedback from the alumni was very positive, and it was not just the movie which they found to be a good mix of action and comedy. There was also extensive praise for the buffet selection which turned in to one of the event’s unexpected highlights.

Most of the alumni had plenty of praise for the rebranding of KDU UC’s Alumni Association. Graduate from the class of 2012, Hariz bin Mohamad Farzeen Lee had only this to say, “It was my first KDU UC alumni gathering and I believe there is more to come. I hope to attend more of these kinds of events in the future and be in touch with the rest of the alumni and the KDU UC family.”
