Curtin Sarawak is aiming to attain greater heights following a highly-successful first decade which brought it from relative obscurity to the forefront of private tertiary institutions in the region. This aspiration was expressed by Pro Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. John Evans and his deputy, Professor Dr. Joan Gribble, during a tree-planting ceremony recently.
A top-level delegation from Universiti Malaysia Kelantan (UMK) paid a study visit to Curtin Sarawak on 23 February 2010 to explore avenues for collaboration and exchange ideas.
