24 November 2018, The Pearl, Kuala Lumpur – The Alumni Homecoming Night was a celebration in conjunction with the 10th Anniversary of the International Medical University (IMU)’s School of Health Sciences. The aim of the event was for the alumni to reconnect with the current staff and students, for networking purposes within themselves and within the alumni and the students. Additionally, through this event they aimed to build a sense of community to strengthen the bond between IMU and its alumni, both of which have been successfully achieved.
At the event, there was a photo booth next to the registration table, one that was enjoyed by everyone, committee and guests alike. The main ballroom in the hotel was beautifully decorated with balloons and other decorations to match the black and gold theme set for the event.
