Our university consists of several departments that contribute to different aspects of university development, including DSA, Marketing, PR, and others. Each department has its specific responsibilities. The Department of Student Affairs (DSA) is widely recognized among students for organizing events tailored to their needs. The Marketing department is renowned for its innovative ideas in media and collaboration with university ambassadors. The Public Relations (PR) department focuses on maintaining a positive public image and reputation for the organization.
Every year, these departments recruit their teams through a selection process that typically involves the following stages:
1. Submission of applications/resumes
2. Interviews
3. Completion of additional tasks
Any interested student can join the DSA Team, PR Team, or become a university ambassador to demonstrate their abilities and interests in their respective fields.
The DSA team gives students chances to demonstrate their social skills by organizing and improving student life. They offer platforms for students to actively participate in different campus activities, helping them develop abilities in planning events, leading others, communicating effectively, and building a sense of community.
