SERDANG, 6 August – The Alumni Relations Centre, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), participated in the Service Innovation Award Presentation (Management Category), held in conjunction with UPM’s Service Quality and Innovation Day (HKIP) 2025–2026, by showcasing its innovative initiative, Kad Legasi Alumni.

The project presentation was led by Mr. Syahid Asyraaf Shamsudin, with the support of Mr. Fahmi Azar Mistar, Director of the UPM Alumni Relations Centre, highlighting the concept, implementation and added value of Kad Legasi Alumni in strengthening the strategic relationship between UPM and its alumni.

Kad Legasi Alumni is an initiative developed as a form of identification and recognition for UPM alumni, while serving as a symbol of the lasting connection between graduates and their alma mater. The card functions as an alumni membership identity that provides cardholders with access to selected benefits and privileges, while encouraging greater alumni engagement within the university ecosystem.

The implementation of this initiative reflects the Alumni Relations Centre’s commitment to enhancing the alumni experience through a more systematic, relevant and needs-driven approach to service delivery. It also aims to foster a stronger sense of belonging, recognition and connection among alumni as valued members of UPM’s growing global community.

During the presentation session, the panel of judges provided valuable insights, recommendations and assessments on the implementation of the project and its potential for further enhancement. The feedback received will serve as an important input in strengthening Kad Legasi Alumni and ensuring that the initiative continues to deliver meaningful value and benefits to both the alumni community and the university.

The UPM Alumni Relations Centre extends its sincere appreciation and gratitude to the panel of judges for their valuable insights, recommendations and constructive assessments throughout the presentation session.

Participation in the Service Innovation Award (Management Category) at HKIP UPM 2025–2026 forms part of the Alumni Relations Centre’s continuous efforts to cultivate a culture of innovation and enhance the quality of its service delivery. Through initiatives such as Kad Legasi Alumni, the Centre remains committed to strengthening alumni networks, enhancing engagement with the university and contributing towards the development of a sustainable and impactful UPM alumni ecosystem.
