Mohammed Bassam

Activities and Events Officer

“Hard work produces luck and success.” This is my
guiding principle since hard work begins with
inspiration, which frequently manifests itself as
luck. So, when it comes right down to it, effort and
good fortune are inseparable. I am in my present
occupation because I am a highly dedicated and
goal-oriented person with expertise in administra-
tion, student involvement, and student services.
I am also fluently bilingual, with a track record of
success in student engagement and more than
9 years of experience in student affairs. As for my
goals, I want to travel as much as I can in life. If I
were to say something to ADU students, I would
tell them that university is a great place to test
themselves. I would also advise them to use their
time wisely.

My goal is to “Always be available.” To clarify further,
I want to be available for everyone and everything,
including my family and my work. I always strive
to put my all into anything I have committed to.
Being content, healthy, optimistic, and in charge
of all I do is what I aim to achieve in life; to make
my own judgments without interference from
anyone else and to value life’s small pleasures.
Working at ADU exposes me to a lot of students,
and I admire their courage and commitment
to learning. I am inspired to watch them hurry-
ing to class and putting their education first.
If I were to say something to ADU students, I
would tell them to keep working on their goals.
In the end, their hard work will definitely pay off.
