My vision as an instructor is to foster a love for learning, to encourage critical thinking, and to nurture the unique talents of each student. Together, we can create a brighter future."

Director Jaida Alsharif, CPA, the redesignated Director of the Budget Management Office, also conveyed her appreciation to the University:

She also reflected on the responsibilities of her role:

"Becoming a Budget Director has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding roles I’ve taken on. The responsibility is immense. Every decision I make has an impact on the institution, from how funds are allocated to the prioritization of projects that will affect the students, staff, and the community as a whole. It’s a balancing act, constantly juggling the needs of various departments, dealing with limitations, and finding creative solutions to meet everyone’s requirements."
