Dr. Dalia Bedewy then presented the role of the Counseling Unit in supporting students academically, psychologically, and socially. She clarified how students can seek help, the types of counseling available, and the unit’s ongoing mission to promote student well-being. This was followed by a detailed presentation by Eng. Leena Taifour, who introduced the initiatives of the Hostel Creative Team and the Students Housing plans for Fall Semester 2025–2026.
