My student had successfully defended her PhD thesis yesterday. Her research is on crisis management in the hotel industry. My first full supervision.

To maintain the flow and readability of a 80k-word long academic thesis is a challenge especially for new researchers. Therefore when the external examiner kept commending her writing, I couldn’t help myself sharing the pride.

Our greatest appreciation and thanks to both examiners. External examiner – Assoc. Prof. Dr. Abdullah Hemdi, the Dean of Faculty of Hotel Management and Tourism, UiTM. Internal examiner – Assoc. Prof. Dr. Rosmini Omar. Both had given very useful feedback to further strengthen the thesis. Thanks to the Chairman Tan Sri Zulkifli, and assistant chairman Dr. Sofia.

Well done Dr. Maisoon! It was an honor to be part of your journey.
