Under the patronage and active participation of Prof. Dr. Mohammed Shihab Al-Eidani, Dean of the College, alongside his assistants for scientific and administrative affairs, the campaign brought together faculty members, staff, and students in a unified effort to promote environmental awareness and cultivate a culture of sustainability within the university campus.
