Dr. Sherif Fakhry Mohamed Abd-el-Naby, President of the Egyptian Russian University (ERU), announced that forty-two of the university’s students were honored for their outstanding academic performance. They are students at the university’s eight faculties: Faculties of “Engineering,” “Oral and Dental Medicine,” “Pharmacy,” “Management, Economics & Business Technology,” “Artificial Intelligence,” “Fine Arts,” “Applied Arts” and “Faculty of Al-Alsun and Technical Languages.” The students were honored by the Ministry of Social Solidarity, under the patronage of Dr. Mohamed Kamal Al-Sayed Mustafa, Chairman of the university’s board of trustees, and in the presence of Dr. Salah Hashem, Counselor of the Minister of Social Solidarity and General Coordinator of Social Solidarity Units at Universities.

The President of the ERU explained that the honoring took place as part of an event titled “Towards Active Youth,” which was organized by the Social Solidarity Unit for the second year in a row within the university headquarters … His Excellency stated that the establishment of the Social Solidarity Unit within the university campus came as part of the framework of the state’s strategic trend to support and develop the human resources. It is also due to the university’s keenness to prepare a good graduate who interacts positively with all the issues of the society in which he lives, preserving its customs, traditions and values. He should also be a producer and should take part in developing the state’s resources, rather than being a mere consumer of them.

Dr. Sherif, in addition, declared that, the event included, as part of its activities, the opening of the “Productive Student & Productive Family Exhibition”, in which 51 exhibitors from productive families participated, in addition to the “Productive Student” initiative, which was distinguished by offering distinguished products. The exhibition was praised and applauded by the university’s members. Furthermore, Dr. Sherif called on the Social Solidarity Unit to be more and more opened up to the surrounding community around the university in order to maximize the benefit of the exhibition.

In the same context, Dr. Salah Hashem, Councelor of the Minister of Social Solidarity and General Coordinator of Social Solidarity Units at Universities, asserted that the “Ministry of Social Solidarity” provides many diverse activities for faculty students, at both private and public universities. He stated that the ministry, as represented by the “Social Solidarity Units” within the universities, provides multiple various activities to meet the students’ basic needs throughout the academic year and during the annual vacation; and it also aims at meeting the needs of new graduates after completing their studies. It also purposes to promote community peace and security, social justice, as well as economic growth, and to raise awareness on education system and voluntary work through the “Volunteer Bank”.

For her part, Dr. Hanaa Abd-el-Rahman, Leader of Student Activities at the ERU, emphasized that one of the goals of the event “Towards Active Youth” is to introduce to the student the areas of community participation and its official methods, which constitutes an important factor in preparing a distinguished graduate who interacts with the society and the NGOs within the framework of laws and community traditions.

Dr. Hanaa added that the event included a presentation of the achievements of the university’s Solidarity Unit during the past academic year, a narration of some models of volunteers from the university students, in addition to honoring the winning students in the “Productive Student” initiative, as well as honoring the top students from each faculty, as part of the “Incubator of the Outstanding” initiative.
