ENHANCE VISIBILITY OF MPU
For the first objective, we intend to complete our housekeeping, and improve the branding of MPU. We have completed our update of the UTM Professors database. Our relationship with Majlis Profesor Negara will be enhanced. We will endeavour to realise our tagline; THINK & LEAD, FIKIR & PIMPIN.
The organisational structure of MPU will be improved and more appropriate staff will be requested for MPU. Communication channels will be varied, including using the social media on top of the email group. Initiatives will be made to improve the sense of belonging among members to MPU. There is also a need for MPU to seek additional financial sources to fund its activities.
INCREASE OUR VALUE ADDED SERVICES TO UTM AND SOCIETY
MPU and its members will continue to provide value added services to UTM. These are services beyond their normal call of duty as stipulated in their KPIs. Within its advisory capacity, MPU will assist in initiating ideas, suggestions, proposals for the University management. MPU will also give its views on University current and future plans.
PROVIDE LEADERSHIP IN KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE TO SOCIETY
MPU is a collection of the best talent pool in UTM. These great minds should be able to provide leadership to the society, commenting on issues in the society. MPU members must actively follow issues related to their expertise and ready to provide inputs and advice to the relevant parties. This is inline with our tagline; THINK & LEAD, FIKIR & PIMPIN. Members will be expected to put their professional views and thoughts through the social and mainstream media.
ADVOCATE FOR THE RIGHTS AND INTERESTS OF ALL PROFESSORS AND ACADEMIC STAFF
Among others, MPU will advocate for better facilities for all professors, including for retiring professors. MPU will also work towards ensuring that academic freedom is maintained. We will propose improvement in academic staff promotion procedures.
