The President of the University of Bahrain (UoB), Dr. Jawaher bint Shaheen Al-Mudhahki, praised the outstanding scientific activity of the Director of the E-Learning Center, Dr. Sheikha Fai bint Abdullah Al Khalifa, noting that this distinguished giving consolidates the positive image of Bahraini women, and enhances the efforts she has made over the years to contribute to the advancement of the affairs of her society and her country, and works side by side with men in the national development process.
This came when the President of the University received the Director of the E-Learning Center on Wednesday (July 6, 2022), where she congratulated her on her classification as the first Bahraini sustainability expert accredited by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), noting that UoB is proud of the increase in the number of its academics participating in international institutions as experts, arbitrators, and members because of the vast experience they gain in these advanced fields, which is reflected in their academic and research performance.
Also, Dr. Al-Mudhahki confirmed that the increasing number of faculty members at UoB who have affiliations at scientific and research institutions, academic frameworks and others operating in the local and foreign markets, first indicates the confidence of these organizations and frameworks in the competence of the University’s affiliates, and in return, it provides the professors with more realistic and practical visions of the developments taking place in these markets, which are moving faster than ever, and need universities to interact with their intense variables.
On her part, Dr. Sheikha Fai bint Abdullah Al Khalifa expressed her thanks to the President of the University for her keenness to support and encourage all University members, including academics, administrators and students, and urging them to continue to overcome all barriers to represent UoB, and then the Kingdom of Bahrain in all forums, stating: “I am working diligently in order to continue to engage in scientific fields in the vicinity of my specialization, as it gives me broader horizons to benefit from in all kinds of work that I do.”
It is worth noting that GRI is an international non -profit organization that empowers companies and organizations to report on their economic, environmental, social and corporate governance performance, issues free sustainability reporting guidelines, and produces reports for major local and international companies using the GRI standards.
Last June, the Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait (BBK) appointed Dr. Fai bint Abdullah Al Khalifa to the Board of Directors of Invita, which is a subsidiary of the Bank Group wholly owned by BBK, specializing in business processing and customer relationship management services for outsourcing of business, and is one of the leading companies in this field in the region.
