The first Community Service Week of Hadhramout University begins this week as part of its thirtieth-anniversary celebrations. Prof. Mohamed Saeed Khanbash, the university president, stated that this week will include several workshops that address our societal reality in line with the university’s objective, which is serving the community.
He added that the university concludes this week by expressing its profound gratitude and appreciation to the leadership, represented by the President of the Presidential Council, Dr. Rashad Mohammed Al-Alimi, for his generous patronage of this important event in the university’s journey. He also thanked all the university’s members, including faculty, assistants, administrators, technicians, and students, and everyone who contributed to the success of this honorable university event.
It is worth mentioning that the week will witness five workshops on the following topics: the integrative relationship between the outcomes of the university’s education faculties and the needs of the labor market, the contributions of postgraduate studies at the university in serving the community, the impact of research centers at the university in serving and developing the community, the role of the university in promoting females’ education, and the social responsibility of Hadhramout University’s Family Medicine Center. These workshops will be held from the 12th to the 16th of November.
Several working papers will be presented in various areas related to the theme of each workshop, which collectively falls under the unified framework addressing the issue of the week “The University’s Service to the Community.” This theme is one of the pillars and fundamental functions upon which the university is based, in addition to education, learning, and scientific research.
The relationship between the university and the community is a close one. Whenever we talk about the university, it necessitates discussing the community and vice versa.
