For his part, the Editor-in-Chief of the magazine, Prof. Dr. Hakam Shatnawi, affirmed that the magazine is not merely a platform for conveying news and information, but rather an effective tool to enhance communication between the Faculty and its students, graduates, and members of the community interested in tourism and hospitality. He stressed the importance of everyone’s constructive ideas and contributions in developing the magazine to realize a shared vision between the Faculty and society.
Dr. Shatnawi added, “We truly value the tremendous efforts made by the Faculty Magazine Club, alongside colleagues and students, in producing this outstanding issue. We also extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the University President, Professor Islam Massad, for his continued support of student activities, which are a cornerstone in developing students’ skills, shaping their personalities, and enriching their cultural knowledge.”
In conclusion, the Faculty invited all students, alumni, and faculty members to submit their proposals and contributions for future issues of the magazine, in support of collaborative work and the pursuit of further success and excellence.
