“After this day you will be entering new doors, as you take on new challenges. And so, to be a proud Kasubay, we hope that as you enter the doors of new achievements of new transformation, you will also open up the doors for others,” Dr. Alentajan added urging the awardees, completers, and graduates to live up the University core values and continue working towards the academe’s shared vision which is to transform lives and build resilient and sustainable communities.
