The University Management Committee (UMC) in its meeting No.13/2022 held on 7th September 2022 has agreed to declare the first Friday of every month as IIUM Community Day. 

The objectives of IIUM Community Day are as follows:

• To instil the spirit of volunteerism among staff by participating in community-related activities/projects at the department, Kulliyyah and University levels.

• To translate the understanding of Bi’ah into practice through impactful activities.

• To support the aspirations of the University towards having a balanced (Sejahtera) staff.

KAED had conducted many activities and programmes that involved staff on a voluntary basis: however, their contributions were not captured on any platform to recognise their efforts. Thus, with the introduction of the IIUM Community Day programme at the Kulliyyah, data on participation and contributions will be captured, and it will be used for APAR, promotion, nomination for the Takrim Award and etc.

In line with the University’s aspiration to humanise education as stated in SAF, where the propagation of knowledge is beyond the walls of classrooms and offices, the University community is also engaged to provide an ecosystem that celebrates knowledge and activities related to it. KAED is very supportive of this aspiration, and it is proposed that the following activities be conducted:

• Spiritual Enhancement

• Enhancement of Teaching and Learning Facilities

• Beautification of KAED Workplace and Surrounding

• Construction of New Facilities

• Health, Wellness and Happiness

The Lead Programme Coordinator of the respective area/scope will be responsible to coordinate the implementation of the proposed programme and to obtain necessary approval including budget prior to the event.

Committee members will be appointed among KAED Staff who will support the implementation of “IIUM Community Day” programme. It had been endorsed and approved in Kulliyyah Committee Meeting (KCM) No.2/2023 held on 27th February 2023.
