I started my first semester with her in Marketing Management in USM. I came from private university where the culture was totally different. As a student, I admire her dedication and passion towards the students in every aspect that she taught us. It is something that you feel, 'I need to be in this class !'

Anybody in the class can feel how she so passionate in the subject and be part of the activities.

On the next semester, I did something different by taking International Advertising subject which usually student take on the final semester. I made a decision after seek her for an advice to register for subjects. I knew it was a right decision to continue her classes, before she left for London.

Never regret, although it was different than others. It is my hope that before I end my study in USM, we will meet again one day, InshaAllah.

Springvale, Victoria is where we first met more than 10 years ago. Dr Izzal is very friendly. kind and easy to get along. As we share the same profession, I see her excel in what she loves and have dedicated her heart and soul to be an outstanding researcher and educator. I have no doubt that Dr Izzal will continue to contribute to be the best in her field. I am always cheering for you "Kak Izzal".

All the best in your future endeavors,

She was among my first new friends in AIGS back in 1990. We were placed in the same class at that time. As we are struggling to adapt with new life as teenagers, we supported each other which it had bloomed into wonderful friendship and of course we kept each other's biggest secret and silly things done untill now hahahaha.
After 20 years we met again....but dalam dunia kerjaya yang berbeza. Dia sebagai Pensyarah dan saya bertugas di bahagian pentadbiran.
Sebagai sahabat Dr. Izzal masih semesra 'Izzal Asnira' yg saya kenali bertahun dahulu. NAMUN, semangat dan kesungguhan beliau sebagai akademia amat mengkagumkan. Malah sangat menginspirasikan kpd para pelajar beliau, rakan setugas malah seluruh warga kampus. Kemampuan beliau sebagai pendidik dan penyelidik sangat menonjol. Dalam tempoh yg singkat beliau telah menerima anugerah dan penghargaan atas sumbagan dalam bidang beliau.
Beliau sentiasa bersemangat utk meneruskan kesarjanaan beliau melalui perkongsian ilmu dan penyelidikan.
Saya yakin akan sentiasa ada ruang dan peluang di universiti ini utk pendidik segigih beliau.

Sebagai rakan saya akan sentiasa mendoakan kejayaan dan kecemerlangan kepada DR IZZAL ASNIRA ZOLKEPLI.
Wassalam.

I stepped into USM@KL with fear and anxiety that I might not be able to grasp what was taught and that I might not be able to live up to what was required of me.

You were my favourite lecturer. Your classes opened my mind, brightened the class, made even the quiet and anxious contribute more, and I dare say you've given more than what was expected of a lecturer. You are an excellent lecturer and an even better person to talk to and discuss. You helped me brainstorm and go through the list of my potential RP topics even though I was considering other supervisors.

Thank you so much. For all that you've done, for your kindness and compassion, for all that I have learnt and become since 2016, and for the person that I am today, I owe you more than just my gratitude.

Lots of love,
Sasi Rekha

Dr. Izzal is TERRIBLE AMAZING with AWESOME plus WONDERFUL #Sensei lecturer during my spy programme IMC in USM, especially in those hidden course code YSP509 & #SIFU in secret mission - YSP512 as well.

As old folks culture quotes,
every behind each successful student, is at least one UNcrappy lecturer is looking at you.

Dr.Izzal know what you did last semester. So, Dr.Izzal will make us more terrible desire to cross out of the comfort zone to try something new instead of repeating same old thing⁽copycat⁾.

So, prepare for A and make it A⁺⁺. Will feel stress-free if you get a secret code message from Dr.Izzal. And the best thing about Dr.Izzal those question could make you become Ultra-Legend during the class either in exam wars. Look like same same but actually is different.

Trust me, because I'm one those survivor that able to survive with excellent outcome.

I proud to be one of Dr. Izzal mentee.
Thank for everything!

Where shall I begin?? Though she forgot to include me in her broadcast listing for this testimonial for her I’ll still write something for her! Hahaha!
She was my SV for my Research Proposal and she taught me a few subjects for my Masters in IMC. She made it easy for me to finish my masters, she was there to guide amidst her busy schedule and she was there to scold me for my ‘ blurness ‘ during the completion of my RP. She is meticulous and very fond of being systematic in doing her work. She made our classes as interesting as she could and changed the contents of her teaching materials to follow the current trend and I am grateful for that coz it made my eyes open in each class! Haha!
She has a pretty little daughter with the name of a flower whom I pray will get all good things easily in her life as her mother made it easy for her students!

All the best Dr Izzal in your future undertakings! May Allah bless you with baraqah and overflowing rezeki! Aamiin!

Dr. Izzal was a super good lecturer. I like the way of her teaching style when conducting the class. One of the subject I had is Persuasive Theories. What makes the class interesting is she carry out case study excercise that involves group discussion based on the theories. Not only that, she introduce Padlet.com platform just like we’re using now as a method to sharing ideas to keeping up with technology in which we can always access it anytime and anywhere. Last but not least, i wish you all the best Dr. Izzal in whatever you in to!

WK Cheah, PhD supervisee.

I've known Dr Izzal for about 4 years now, since I started taking my Master's in Communication (IMC) at USM. She was introduced by the deputy dean to be my supervisor as we had to take a mini research paper at the end of the semester. Main reason was that Dr Izzal specialises in the topic that I'm interested in. From that day onwards, I begin to see my life growing, not just academically but character-wise as well. She has been a mentor of mine since then. If you've heard that she's someone who's tough, particular, perfectionist, they are all true. It's all for the good actually, I begin to realise. Her level of knowledge, depth of wisdom, and vast experience never cease to amaze me until today.

It's safe to say that because of her, she has motivated and inspired me to take PhD, while disclosing that it's not an easy journey. Yes, one may be fearful towards her demands in the level of perfectionism that her students produce, it's all for the good. In the long run, it does appear to be beneficial and fruitful.

While she is perceived to be tough, but she has her soft side as well. She's kind, loving and motivating towards her students too.

It'd be an honour and blessing to really achieve half of what she has achieved so far.

Dr Izzal Asnira - A person with full of wisdom, knowledge and inspiration. Thank you for the journey thus far. :)

Dr Izzal has been a close colleague of mine since we first met at USM about 5 years ago. She is no one to compare with. Her courage and and commitment to research and publication is inspiring. Her positive mind and attitude are really infectious to everyone around her. A highly motivated and ambitious towards achieving goals and vision of life. She knows exactly what she want and would work whole-heartedly towards it. She is the right person for the award.

I've known Izzal for almost 7 years and i am lucky to be amongst her list of friends. The level of risillience and determination she has is unprecedented. I have seen her go through very tough times and how gracefully she saw that time off was a very precious lesson for me.

# data[].attributes.body
Despite my premature decision for not wanting to finish my study, she was there to help me out with my research. She was there too, to give advice and guide me to get me through my remaining semester there in USM. Our first encounter was before her PhD was approved and received her doctoral degree. As far I can remember, she was assisting other lecturer's class. And soon after receiving the doctoral degree, she taught persuasive theory along side Prof. Mohd. She's very often to be like by most students there for her motherly attention and loveable.

XOXO.

I do not think Dr. Izzal knows how much she has impacted her students' lives in a very special and meaningful way --- and I am one of her many many students who stepped in to her class and came out being inspired by her teaching, her creativity, her passion, her sincerity and her humility. She has given us beyond just head knowledge; she gave us something as precious as life lessons to hold on to which I will always remember and treasure. Very, very blessed to cross path with you, Dr. Izzal!

Hi, I'm Alin Bazilah Hassim and Dr Izzal Asnira Zolkepli was my supervisor during my internship. I was so grateful to be under her supervision.

She's a good lecturer. Eventhough she’s already packed with her schedule but she still got time for all of her students. She’s such an amazing lecturer in handling all her students.

As a lecturer, she has her own style of teaching. I really enjoyed studying YBP 201 Communication for Sustainable Development when we were given a task during the class and we need to submit the task before the class ends. I really enjoyed the class since it was different from any other classes i’ve been into.

I'm really thankful to have her as my lecturer. She's really awesome. All the best, Dr Izzal.
