Have you ever wonder what will happen if we combine two words
into one? At KDU we spelled awesomeness when did that and created a yearly
event for everyone to celebrate as a result of combining the words “fit” and
“inspiration” transforming it into “Fitspiration”. The KDU Fitspiration Week is
in line with the key initiative to
instil the spirit of compassion within the community by putting up numerous
activities that aimed to enhance students’ physical and psychological health
for a balanced lifestyle here at KDU University College Utropolis Glenmarie
campus.

The Fitspiration
celebration lasted for a whole week but the programmes run for the whole year
as it is the spirit of cultivating a balanced lifestyle between studying, work,
and sports for the community here at KDU that we meant to achieve together.
There were many sport activities and games planned throughout the year 2016 to
encourage students’ involvement.
The highlight of this event was the KDU
Fitspiration Scholarship Ceremony held on 13 October 2016 at the Utropolis
Glenmarie campus. Honoured Paralympic gold medalist, Mohamad Ridzuan Puzi, who
clocked 12.07 seconds in the T36 100m sprint, made an
exclusive appearance at the event
together with fellow para-athletes from the Rio Olympics 2016 contingent, Mohd
Shamil Bin Md Saad (107kg powerlifter) and Jong Yee Khie (97kg powerlifter). KDU University College has proudly announced the first scholarship fund
for the Malaysian Paralympic Council (MPC) to recognise the hard work and
efforts of all para-athletes.
Apart from this, Peer to Peer (P2P), a
mutual help community for emotional and psychological needs, also organised a
camp from 14 to 16 October 2016, with the theme “Compassion”. The camp was
called “Love Life”, and aimed to encourage students to cultivate compassion in
their daily lives. In the “Love Life” camp, several activities were designed to
educate the campers to further understand “Compassion”, such as visiting a home
for disabled children, games revolving the 5 senses, movie screening and
visiting Jumpstreet.
