USM PPPJJ ACKNOWLEDGES STAFF CONTRIBUTIONS AND COMMITMENT, HOLDS APPRECIATION CEREMONY
USM PENANG, 14 January 2026 – The Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) School of Distance Education (PPPJJ) recently held the PPPJJ Appreciation and Acknowledgement Ceremony 2025 to express gratitude to its staff members for their contributions to two international conferences previously organised by the School.

The ceremony was specially arranged to celebrate the commitment, dedication, and teamwork demonstrated by the committees of the International Digital Education Conference (IDEC 2025) and the International Postgraduate Conference for Multidisciplinary Research (iPCMR 2025), both of which were successfully hosted by PPPJJ.

Beyond recognising the conference committees, the event also honoured the collective efforts of all PPPJJ staff members, whose continued dedication and cooperation throughout the year have been instrumental in the School’s achievements.
These efforts led PPPJJ to win the Sustainability Award (Anugerah Kelestarian) and secure the runner-up position in the National Day ‘Pertandingan Dekorasi dan Video 2025’ competition.
The ceremony was graced by the Dean of PPPJJ, Associate Professor Dr. Zulnaidi Yaacob, who expressed hope for continued collaboration, stronger motivation, and an enduring drive for excellence among staff members.
He emphasised that such aspirations will further elevate USM’s reputation at both national and international levels.
At the same time, PPPJJ announced that registration for the Rancangan Pengajian Jarak Jauh USM Fasa 1 will be open from 21 January 2026 until 10 April 2026 via pohon.usm.my.
