It was an unforgettable moment for Faculty of Accountancy and Management (FAM) lecturer Dr Falahat Nejadmahani Mohammad when he was announced the top Doctorate student during the 48th Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) Convocation ceremony. He was then awarded the USM Gold Medal Award for Doctor of Business Administration during the Graduate School of Business Annual Dinner held at Cititel Penang on 20 September 2013.
Dr Falahat, who is currently based in the FAM's Department of International Business and also the Chairperson of the Centre for Sustainable Development and Corporate Social Responsibility in Business, received the prestigious award from Motorcycle & Scooter Assemblers And Distributors Association of Malaysia (MASAAM) President YBhg Dato Syed Mohamad Aidid.
Upon receiving the award, a humbled Dr Falahat thanked all academic staff and family members who have contributed to his success. The elated lecturer said, "Unwavering focus on your goal, constant perseverance and motivation is imperative to accomplishing anything. Many life trials may come along the way and sacrifices need to be made in order to achieve your goal." He also quoted Gordon Hinckley's wise saying, "You will come to know that what appears today to be a sacrifice will prove instead to be the greatest investment that you will ever make."
Dr Falahat received a gold medal, trophy, certificate and cheque.
