ULM continues to support facilities and infrastructure for students in order to support and facilitate activities that will bring ULM’s name further forward at regional, national and international levels. The Rector ‘s commitment to improving achievements in the field of student affairs was shown in line with the Education Revitalization Fund given to ULM in 2024.
