PROF Datin Paduka Dr Aini Ideris never imagined that she would one day head her former alma mater, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM).

She obtained her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) in 1979 when UPM was known as Universiti Pertanian Malaysia. She became the university’s first female vice-chancellor on New Year’s Day in 2016.
