Message from the Associate Dean

As we continue to evolve and respond to the ever-changing landscape of higher education, I am excited to share with you our renewed focus on external engagement.
It is my privilege to serve as the Associate Dean of External Engagement, and I am deeply committed to the belief that our university’s success is intrinsically linked to our ability to forge strong and meaningful connections beyond our campus walls. Our commitment to external engagement is not just a part of our mission; it is at the very core of who we are.
Key priorities
Future students and alumni relations
We designs activities for future students to feel welcomed, supported, and informed as they begin their educational journey. Simultaneously, we also strive to maintain a strong relationships with alumni to build a loyal and active network that contributes to the university’s growth and success, both academically and financially.
Sustainability, inclusivity and diversity
By actively engaging in sustainability, inclusivity, and diversity activities, we aims to create a more environmentally responsible and inclusive campus as well as prepare students to become responsible global citizens who value diversity and contribute to a more equitable and sustainable world.
Partnership, industry collaborations and knowledge exchange
These activities enhance the transfer of knowledge, foster innovation, and prepare students for the workforce. They also strengthen the ties between academia and industry, benefiting both parties by applying academic research to real-world problems and by providing universities with valuable resources and support for their academic missions.
