Taking this opportunity, ARCUPM would like to thank those who visited the ARCUPM booth and the customers who bought flowers from the Putrabiz@Alumni booth and at the same time gave donations that will be distributed to the students.

With the ending of the 47th UPM Convocation Ceremony, ARCUPM would like to wish congratulations and good luck to the graduates who are now UPM alumni. The wishes are also extended to the recipients of university awards and scholarship recipients from UPM alumni. The graduates are UPM ambassadors who will bear the name of UPM in the future, therefore, it has become the alumni's responsibility to protect UPM’s good name.

ARCUPM always welcomes alumni back to UPM to contribute to their alma mater. The contribution is not only in the form of money, but also in the form of cooperation, suggestions and sharing experiences to inspire the UPM community.
