USM blackout for Earth Hour

USM undergraduates joined others around the world in making Earth Hour 2010 a success by switching off all lights in all the Residential Halls for one hour, from 9.00pm to 10.00pm last Saturday.

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.
