Dean’s Speech on the Occasion of the Beginning of the New Academic Year 2025–2026

We welcome our new academic year with great optimism, asking Almighty God to make it a blessed year filled with giving and achievements in various fields. We reaffirm our determination to continue working together in pursuit of excellence.
Our future vision is founded on firm values. Our aim is to move education beyond the mere acquisition of knowledge in its immediate sense, toward instilling a love of science and learning as a lasting practice and a noble goal.
Dear students, you are the hope of the nation and its bright future. What we provide you is both a right and a duty upon us. Be diligent in your pursuit of knowledge, strive for excellence, and take pride in your accomplishments among your peers, families, and communities. Let your knowledge and achievements be a source of pride and honour for your country.
My esteemed colleagues and academic staff members, through your efforts and cooperation, we translate plans and programs into tangible reality. You are the foundation of science and the pillar of knowledge in preparing a generation capable of serving its nation. We ask Almighty God to bless this year, guide our steps, and make our work centred on achieving our ultimate goal of caring for our dear students and elevating them to greater heights.
May God bless your efforts and grant you success in all he loves and approves of. Wishing you all a happy and prosperous year.
Prof. Dr Manal Raafat Khalid
Dean of the College of Tourism Sciences
