As part of King Khalid University's 1446 Freshman Welcome Program, an open forum took place on August 29, 2024, offering new students a unique opportunity to interact directly with university leadership. The event brought together several deans and vice deans from across KKU, all reaffirming their commitment to supporting students throughout their academic journey.

Among the key participants was Dr. Ahmad Assiri, Dean of the College of Languages and Translation (CLT). Dr. Assiri emphasized CLT’s dedication to providing unwavering guidance and resources to ensure the success of its students. He spoke passionately about the college’s readiness to support students, not only through academic advising but also by encouraging active participation in extracurricular activities that foster personal and professional growth.

In his address, Dr. Assiri reminded the freshmen that they are entering a vibrant and resource-rich academic environment where they can thrive with the right mindset and support. He encouraged them to seek help whenever needed, reassuring them that both faculty and staff are always available to assist them throughout their academic journey.

The forum also featured valuable contributions from other university leaders, who discussed vital topics such as academic planning, university regulations, and the range of services available to students. However, Dr. Assiri’s message of encouragement and his emphasis on the inclusive, supportive nature of CLT left a lasting impression on the new students.

This open forum, as part of the broader welcome activities, exemplified KKU’s commitment to fostering a welcoming and nurturing environment for its new students, with the College of Languages and Translation playing a central role in ensuring their academic and personal success.
