SQU concludes its annual celebration of University Day 2025
MUSCAT: The Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) recently concluded its annual celebration of University Day 2025, under the auspices of HH Sayyid Dr Fahd bin Al Julanda al Said, Vice-Chancellor of SQU. The celebrations honoured a number of members in recognition of their efforts during the 2024/2025 academic year and to motivate them towards a future filled with giving and achievement.
The ceremony included a number of distinguished students, including the head of the Student Tourism Group, which is affiliated with the Department of Tourism at Sultan Qaboos University. The group's role is to spread tourism awareness to the largest possible audience inside and outside the university, and to promote the group's name and influence within the community through organising and participating in a number of events and seminars related to tourism in the Sultanate of Oman.
During the event, HH Sayyid Dr Fahd bin Al Julanda al Said, Vice-Chancellor of SQU, honoured Abdullah al Rawas, Chairman of the Student Tourism Group, in recognition of his efforts in organising numerous events and workshops both inside and outside the university.
Al Rawas, speaking at the event, said, "I feel proud and honoured to be among those who excelled in academic activities this year, especially since this honour bears the name of Sultan Qaboos University. It also marks the end of my university career as a badge of honour for me and the group, which will certainly have a significant impact on my personal and professional life."
It is worth noting that the group participated in six different events during the Khareef Dhofar 2024/2025, including the Omani Press Conference, which was themed "Investment - Economy - Media," in addition to the Marhaba Dhofar event, where the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism organised joint sessions between tourism sector companies in the Sultanate of Oman and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
