SERDANG, 31 March –Alumni Talk: Different or One Direction (ATDOOD) was held on March 26, 2022 and this program is organized by the Alumni and Volunteering Secretariat, College Representative Council, Twelve College session 2021/2022 in collaboration with the Twelve College Management, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) . This program is a partnership program with Mrs. Habibah Adnan who is a UPM alumna majoring in Bachelor of Arts (English), in 1998 - 2001 and Master of Corporate Communication in 2006 - 2008. Mrs. Habibah is the Director of the Information Management Division at the Malaysian Nuclear Agency ( more commonly known as Nuklear Malaysia) and has been serving at Nuklear Malaysia since 2003. This program was held to provide exposure on preparation for the start of a career and to give students the opportunity to learn more about the direction after completing their studies at UPM.

This program has been implemented virtually using an online medium (Youtube Live) on the TwelveTV account! under the management of the Twelve College Representative Council. Participation in this program is free and open to all UPM students. This program has successfully received a total of 139 entries among UPM students.

The ATDOOD program started at 8.30pm with the singing of Negaraku and Putra Gemilang songs, followed by a prayer before being handed over directly to Puan Habibah to share a little about herself and her life journey throughout being a student at UPM and then in the world of work. Mrs. Habibah's sharing is to some extent able to inspire students to continue the struggle in learning and so that students are able to improve their marketability after completing their studies at UPM.
