Assalamualaikum wbth and good day
Hello everyone :)
About ten years ago, I wrote about the hooding ceremony for UiTM’s PhD graduands. At that time, I shared my thoughts on how meaningful this ceremony was, not only for the students but also for the supervisors who had walked alongside them throughout their doctoral journey.
The Hooding Ceremony is a special recognition ceremony for doctoral degree students. During the ceremony, the supervisors and their students are invited on stage for a photo session, symbolising the successful completion of the PhD journey. It is a simple yet deeply meaningful moment, as it reflects years of hard work, perseverance, sacrifice and academic growth.
This year, I felt truly honoured and proud to be part of the hooding ceremony for my PhD student, Dr. Muhammad Aliff Rosly.
Although I served as his co-supervisor, the joy I felt was no less meaningful. Seeing a student complete a PhD is always a special experience. It reminds us that supervision is not only about research, writing and publication. It is also about guidance, encouragement, trust and shared commitment.
A PhD journey is never easy. There are moments of uncertainty, long discussions, revisions, challenges and personal sacrifices. Therefore, witnessing a student finally reach the finish line is a proud and emotional moment.
Congratulations, Dr. Muhammad Aliff Rosly, on this wonderful achievement. May this success be the beginning of many more meaningful contributions in your academic and professional journey.
As a supervisor and educator, moments like this remind me why we continue to guide, support and believe in our students.
Alhamdulillah, truly a proud moment.
