It was a fruitful experience for a group of 28 visitors from Chong Hwa
Independent High School, Kuala Lumpur who were on a study trip to Universiti
Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) Perak Campus on 17 October 2009. The group was
lead by the school's Vice Principal Cheong Moey Lian.
The visitors were greeted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Lim Tuck Meng, Dean of Faculty
of Science; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Liew Soung Yue, Dean of Faculty of Information
and Communication Technology (Perak Campus); and Assoc. Prof. Dr Ooi Keng
Boon, Dean of Faculty of Business and Finance and other University's
officials. They were shown a brief multimedia presentation on the
establishment of the University as well as its achievements over the past
seven years.
The visitors were given a campus tour in which they were introduced to the
teaching and learning facilities including computer practical laboratories,
science laboratories, engineering workshops, lecture theatres and tutorial
rooms. They also had the opportunity to see the newly built five-storey
library and other infrastructures of the phase 1B.
"This is our first time visiting UTAR Perak Campus and we are delighted to
be greeted so warmly by the officials of the University," commented Cheong.
"For only two years, the Perak Campus is well-equipped with state-of-arts
teaching and learning facilities. This is very impressive. It is indeed a
conducive learning environment," she added.
The school's counsellor Khor Guat Hong agreed with Cheong's statement. "UTAR
offers a wide area of study, ranging from arts to engineering and from
business to IT. Hence, students have more options when choosing their
degree. I will share the first-hand information on UTAR's latest programmes
and achievements with my students, especially those who wish to pursue their
tertiary education locally."
