SUNWAY UNIVERSITY
During my recent visit to Malaysia on January 25, 2018, to speak about my SEWA Turnaround Transformational Leadership, I was staying at the Sunway Hotel, and there I was gazing the beauty of city from the window. Through window, I saw a big billboard for Sunway University, being passionate about education and having the first Alleem Sustainable Development Goals (ASDGs) called Quality Education; the university caught my attention.
Sunway University is a leading not-for-profit private university committed to the pursuit of education through scholarship, research, and enterprise. It is ranked among the top 2.5% of universities in Asia and offers an engaging learning space for students and academics. It works with the mission to nurture all-round individuals and devote their selves to the discovery, advancement, transmission, and application of knowledge that meet the needs of society and the global community.
Through the Jeffrey Cheah Foundation, Sunway provide disadvantaged and deserving young adults access to quality education by disbursing $84 million and counting in scholarships. The Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development, established at Sunway University in 2016, serves as a hub for the education and advancement of sustainability across Southeast Asia. The Center is the first of its kind in Asia.
For almost 30 years, Sunway University has established a reputation both in Malaysia and overseas as an inspiring educational leader, perfectly harnessing the highest quality of academic personnel and an exceptionally diverse range of programs any global educational powerhouse would be proud of.
This ever-growing reputation was recently propelled to even greater heights as Sunway University was awarded the internationally acclaimed Quacquarelli Symond (QS) 5 Star ratings for Teaching Facilities and Employability— an evaluation system first emerged in 2004 that assesses universities worldwide using a rating method. Universities are awarded a rating of one to five stars (the highest rating), depending on their performance within the evaluation. This pioneering spirit of Sunway has seen the university rapidly become one of the nation’s flagship education providers.
Families understand and trust that Sunway will nurture their children and their children’s future, cherishing both dearly. Sunway is destined and determined to produce young adults, not just academically exceptional, but socially inclusive and kind-hearted people eager to contribute towards a better society for all.
In keeping with its vision of being a world-class university, Sunway Group has invested 85 million US in a brand new state-of-the-art university building.
