ABOUT STEADFAST
STEADFAST
(Students Facilitator team) was established in August 1991 by the Leadership
and Training Unit of Student Affairs Division and Discipline (STADD),
International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM). The main purpose of this
establishment is to create a team of elite students to assist the young
generation outside the campus in achieving their excellence in life, duniawi
and ukhrawi and to uphold the mission and vision of the university so as to
assist the university in serving the ummah.
Formerly known as Gerakan
Pembina Generasi Abad 21 (GPG 21) STEADFAST has been the leading human training
based society for more than a decade. Previously, the name of STEADFAST was
STADDFAST. This is because, STEADFAST once was not a society but was a special
unit under STADD. This unit was trained to be a facilitating group and
initially was composed of only 45 selected students from all the students in
IIUM.
Since beginning and until the
year 2000, the members were never exceeded than 100 students. In 1997,
STEADFAST was converted into a society to be organized by the students but
still under the management of STADD. In 2001, SENDI which was previously under
the CENSERVE became one of the bureaus in STEADFAST. Also in 2001, STEADFAST
launched its alumni during the celebration of its 10th anniversary.
STEADFAST then, as a society was
first held its training in 1998. It is now known as STORM. Now, STEADFAST has
more than hundred members from various kuliyyah in IIUM. It is now ready to be
the factory of producing quality in creating future leaders in line and within
the ambit of Islam and also to train them to face the reality of this world.
