University Malaya is committed towards improving our campus environment in its various aspects, and the university has the on-going mission to encourage, educate, motivate and train its students and staffs to be more environmentally friendly and responsible. In line with this commitment, the Environmental Secretariat of University Malaya (UMCARES) was established on October 2009 as an official platform to achieve the universities' objectives in this regard. The main role of UMCARES is to ensure that environmental activities in the campus are coordinated more integratively and systematically, with sufficient institutional support. To the members of the UM Community, if you are passionate and interested to contribute actively in improving the campus environmental commitment, let us know and we are here to support you. All for one and one for all...
