To avoid any problems and out of respect for the Isya’ prayer time, USM delayed Earth Hour by thirty minutes. Some areas were left brightly lit for safety reasons.
All Residential Halls, including those at the Engineering Campus at Nibong Tebal and the Health Campus in Kelantan participated in Earth Hour. The Student Representative Council, The Residence Council, societies, Schools and Departments as well as the Student Affairs and Development Division were all actively involved.
Efforts will be taken to ensure that activities such as this, that bring together the students and the campus community will continue to be carried out.
