During the academic orientation sessions, students received information regarding the academic calendar, academic regulations, and the organizational structure of the faculty, including the areas of academic affairs and student development, planning and resources, as well as partnerships, research, innovation, and alumni affairs. These sessions were designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the faculty’s governance system and support services available to assist them throughout their studies.

The commitment to fostering a safe and ethical campus environment was further strengthened through sessions on Anti-Drug Awareness, Sexual Violence Prevention, and Anti-Corruption Education. These sessions encouraged students to understand the risks associated with drug abuse, recognize the importance of preventing all forms of sexual violence, and uphold anti-corruption values in their daily lives. Students were also encouraged to actively contribute to creating a campus environment that is safe, respectful, and inclusive.
