The induction kicked off with an inspiring welcome speech by Dr. Hasan Almulla, President of UTB, who underscored the significance of a well-rounded educational experience. In his address, Dr. Hasan Almulla shared ten invaluable insights drawn from his own experiences, designed to help students make the most of their time at the university. “Your journey here is not solely about academic success; it is also about personal growth and lifelong learning,” he emphasised, urging students to fully engage in university life. His advice covered essential topics such as effective time management, the value of reading and seeking clarification when needed, and the importance of participating in extracurricular activities.
