After 27 years of exemplary service at the University, it is with sadness that we bid farewell and a happy retirement to Prof. Dr. Noraini Mohd Noor. She has retired in a good standing and with an excellent record as a lecturer, researcher, and academic administrator, and, in general, as a staff of the university. Prof. Noraini will be forever remembered by both staffs and students alike for her outstanding reputation in teaching, supervisions, publications, and consultancy works, at both national and international levels.
Prof. Noraini was also a great mentor to the young academics at the department, and she is in fact, still contributing her academic service to the Department, even after she has retired. She is now spearheading a textbook project with the Department on Psychology of Self and Soul, a book that aims to educate academic community, both psychology academics and psychology students, on the missing puzzle in psychology as a discipline─ the soul and the self-─ a subject matter that has long been neglected and misrepresented when psychology is emphasised solely as a science.
On behalf of the Department and the whole university community, we thank Prof Noraini for everything that she has done both within the Department and the whole community in IIUM. We wish her a long and happy retirement.
