By doing so, we can further enrich the educational experience for our students and elevate the global recognition of our institution. As we move forward, I implore all members of our institution, from our esteemed faculty to our dedicated students, to wholeheartedly embrace innovation, lifelong learning, and a global mindset. Together, we can bridge the gap between education and industry, ensuring that our graduates are not only well-prepared but also highly sought after by employers, both nationally and internationally.
