Still, Dr. Mohammed ibn Ja’afr Sabit, the University Development and Quality Deanship dean, underlined that generally the Program aims at providing the academic staff members with the knowledge they need for doing their job tasks in a smooth, effective way. It similarly targets familiarizing them with all the services which all the units and entities deliver at the University and helping them acclimatize and integrate with their new environment. The Program is to host around 100 academic staff members from all colleges.  He went on to laud the support and interest of the University President and the University vices presidency for organizing such remarkable programs, which contribute to serving the academic staff members.
