A Message from

The Chancellor

It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome the inaugural issue
of ADU Campus Chronicles, a magazine dedicated to the heart and soul
of our university: our educators. This publication, born from the dedication
and vision of the Teaching and Learning Development Committee (TLDC),
represents a significant milestone in our ongoing commitment to fostering
a vibrant and innovative educational environment at ADU.

In the aftermath of the unprecedented challenges posed by the COVID-19
pandemic, we have witnessed the remarkable resilience and adaptability
of our educators. You have embraced new technologies, reimagined
pedagogical approaches, and prioritized the well-being of our students. ADU
Campus Chronicles serves as a platform to celebrate your achievements,
share your experiences, and inspire one another.

The TLDC’s mission to promote innovative pedagogy, facilitate professional development, enhance
curriculum, and champion inclusivity aligns perfectly with our university’s core values. This magazine will
be a testament to the power of collaboration, the importance of continuous learning, and the unwavering
dedication of our educators to empowering students.

As you discover the diverse articles within the pages of ADU Campus Chronicles, I encourage you to
explore the diverse perspectives, innovative ideas, and practical insights offered by your colleagues. This
publication is not merely a collection of articles; it is a dynamic resource that will enrich our collective
understanding of teaching and learning.

Let us embrace the opportunities presented by this magazine to engage in meaningful dialogue, challenge
conventional wisdom, and collectively shape the future of education at ADU. Together, we can create a
learning environment that is inclusive, inspiring, and truly transformative.

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the TLDC for their tireless efforts in bringing this vision to life. I also
commend the contributors for sharing their expertise and passion with the ADU community.

As we embark on this exciting new chapter, I have no doubt that ADU Campus Chronicles will become an
indispensable resource for educators across our campus and beyond. I look forward to witnessing the
profound impact it will have on our university’s journey towards excellence.

Sincerely,
Dr Ghassan
Chancellor, ADU
