Following their successful completion of a study course in Biomedical, Nutrition, and Dietetics, Medical Microbiology, and Civil Engineering, and after participating in various activities and final exams at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences (SGGW) in Poland, the students made their return to the Kurdistan Region.
On Monday, February 12, 2024, the students were warmly welcomed by Prof. Dr. Amjad Saber Al-Delawi, President of Cihan University-Erbil. In his greeting, Prof. Al-Delawi commended them for their successful academic and scientific endeavors abroad, highlighting that a promising future lies ahead. He extended his gratitude to the department heads, the students’ families, and the students themselves for exemplifying an outstanding representation of their homeland, university, and academic community at SGGW University. He emphasized that their exemplary conduct had broadened the collaborative ties between Cihan University-Erbil and SGGW University, marking a significant milestone for the individuals involved, as well as for both the university and the Kurdistan Region.
In concluding his remarks, Prof. Dr. Amjad Saber Al-Delawi expressed his aspiration that this international academic experience would serve as a potent catalyst for the students to pursue their master’s studies, given their now-familiarized understanding of the academic and cultural environment in Poland. This, he noted, is testament to their capacity to excel in science, ethics, and humanitarian values. He encouraged them to disseminate their newfound knowledge among their peers and to leverage their accomplishments to further the advancement of science and contribute to the progress of their nation across various sectors.
