On May 21, 2024, MUMGRO hosted the MUM 3MT campus finals to identify a winner who will represent our campus at the Monash University Finals. Seven finalists, one from each school, competed in an intense showdown.
Following thorough deliberation, the judging panel, consisting of Michael Connors, Tridib Saha, Jody Wan, and Janice Wong, unanimously selected Aathira Nair from the School of Pharmacy (SoP) as the competition winner. Additionally, Mohamed Framjee Dinul Hathy from the School of Business (SoB) and Sia Chin Siew from the School of Engineering (SoE) were named the first and second runner-ups, respectively. Notably, Sia Chin Siew also received the prestigious People’s Choice Award, as voted by a crowd of around 100 audience members at the Plenary Theatre. The other finalists included Gwendolyn Bellinger from the School of Arts and Social Sciences (SASS), Preetha Rajendiran from the School of Medicine (SoM), Malinda Garusinghe from the School of Science (SoS), and Kang Xiaoxi from the School of Information Technology (SolT).
As a member of the Monash University Malaysia community, I urge you to secure your spot for the live stream of the event starting at 6 PM AEST (4 PM MYT) on August 27, 2024. Let’s come together to show our support for Aathira Nair in this important journey

26 July 2024 – 29 students from the School of Science (SoS) got together for a Movie Night at TGV, Sunway Pyramid. Treated to the latest blockbuster, Deadpool & Wolverine, this event fosters a sense of community and engagement among students and staff. By providing a relaxed and enjoyable environment, this event aims to encourage social interaction, networking, and camaraderie. This event also offers a much-needed break from academic pressures, promoting mental well-being and a balanced student life. Additionally, it serves as an opportunity to introduce and highlight upcoming MUPA initiatives, further strengthening the connection between the student body and the organisation.
