In her opening remarks, Al-Batayneh emphasized the importance of this event, which coincides with significant national and humanitarian milestones. She noted that this convergence embodies the role of women in building nations and shaping the future, their established role in education, leadership, and scientific research, and their partnership with men in various fields of national contribution.
Yarmouk University reiterated its pride in the Jordanian state's approach to supporting and empowering women through policies and legislation that have strengthened their presence in the workplace and decision-making positions. These policies have also enabled women to assume advanced roles in both the public and private sectors, reflecting a genuine belief in their capabilities and contributions to achieving comprehensive development. The university emphasized that this approach stems from a firmly established national vision based on partnership, justice, and equal opportunities, which enhances the resilience and stability of society.
Al-Batayneh noted Yarmouk University's commitment to translating these visions into effective practices that support women academically, administratively, in student life, in research, and in leadership. The university aims to provide a stimulating environment for women's creativity and ambition, thereby strengthening their role as essential partners in knowledge production, decision-making, and building the future. The university will continue to support women's progress and enhance their presence across various sectors.
The Vice Dean of the College, Professor Dr. Mazhar Ta'amneh, delivered a speech in which he emphasized the college's pride in the significant role women play, not only in the development process but also as true architects of the future.
