Anchored in the spirit of COMPASSION, the USM Community Network Office functions as a practical hub for fostering collaboration between the university and the wider community. As a one-stop referral centre, it streamlines connections and builds partnerships that enable collective efforts to address societal challenges. Focused on actionable outcomes, the office promotes awareness and practical understanding of community engagement, driving a culture of volunteerism that extends beyond the university to create tangible impacts.
Reflecting a commitment to sustainable impact, the office strategizes, implements, monitors, and reviews transformative programs, projects, and flagship initiatives. These efforts focus on empowering disadvantaged and marginalized communities, co-creating solutions that drive socio-economic transformation and improve quality of life. By championing innovation and collaboration, the office partners with communities to address real-world challenges and actualize people-centered solutions aligned with the APEX agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Through its COMPASSION-driven approach, the USM Community Network Office embodies empathy, fosters collaboration, and ensures innovation for a sustainable future, advancing the university’s mission to create lasting, positive change.
