The University Council has concluded a three-day comprehensive familiarization tour and induction programme for newly appointed Council members, aimed at deepening their understanding of the University’s operations, growth trajectory and strategic direction.

The induction programme involved extensive engagements across all academic and administrative departments, providing Council members with first-hand insight into service delivery, infrastructure status, academic programmes and institutional governance. The Council also toured Kobujoi Campus as part of efforts to assess expansion initiatives and emerging opportunities for growth.
