THE Stenden University Qatar (SUQ) has officially launched its Alumni Advisory Board, which will keep and enhance the engagement of the university’s large alumni network.
SUQ is one of the oldest and well established higher education institutions in Qatar and its large alumni body acts as one of the main pillars of the university. The majority of SUQ’s alumni still live and work in Qatar, and many of them hold key positions in various sectors and industries.
The Alumni Advisory Board aims to develop a close-knit alumni community and further enhance the links between the university and its alumni. It will also actively work towards enhancing the awareness and further growing the reputation of the university. In addition to this, the board will establish and develop strong links with the student community on the campus. The board will work very closely with the management of the university and will play a very active ambassadorial and representational role.
The board consists of seven members, namely, Faruk Azad, assistant executive director of Business Development at Hamad Corporation and chair of the Alumni Advisory Board; Tamador Al Hor, business development manager at Qatar National Convention Center and vice-chair of the board; Ahmad Abbassi, executive director of Competition and Football Development at Qatar Stars League; Vladimir Jankovic, senior manager at Fragomen Services; Maryam Al Kubaisi, business development manager at Discover Qatar; Sarah Loulou, lecturer at SUQ; and Nadia Traktar, senior officer Procurement at Katara Hospitality.
On the occasion of the board’s inauguration, Ivan Ninov, executive dean of the university, said: “We are very proud of the achievements of our alumni and we respect them as one of our greatest asset. They play a key role in our future development as an educational institution, and we will not be able to achieve much without their continuous support. They are, and will always remain to be, our best ambassadors, who will further enhance our reputation as a university.”
Khadija Ibtihaj, head of Industry and Alumni Liaison at SUQ, stated: “It is our pleasure to have alumni of this caliber serving as Alumni Advisory Board members. We look forward to successful collaboration with all board members. We are confident that they will succeed in enhancing the sense of belonging amongst our alumni and will act as a link between current students and alumni.”
Faruk Azad, chair of the board, added: “It is an honour and a privilege to have elected as a chair of the Alumni Advisory Board. I look forward to collaborating with my colleagues on the board and with all other alumni. I will exert all efforts to accomplish our mission, and to achieve our goals by building a cohesive alumni network and a highly engaged university
community.”
