On Wednesday, April 9, 2025, the university’s Women’s Committee hosted an inspiring panel discussion in celebration of International Women’s Day. Held in the Auditorium, the event brought together students, faculty, and staff to honor the achievements of women and explore the theme of empowerment, resilience, and diversity in today’s society.

The panel featured four remarkable women from diverse backgrounds:

  • Noura Yassen, Founder of Lucial Events, shared her journey in the events industry and the importance of creativity and leadership.
  • Nataliya Selezneva, Entrepreneur and owner of NewDay.Agency and CRUSH Beauty Salon, highlighted the challenges and rewards of building a business in a competitive market.
  • Majida Abdullah AlShaikh Dawood, a student in CSGS, mother, and businesswoman, offered a powerful perspective on balancing education, motherhood, and entrepreneurship.
  • Dr. Malini Mittal Bishnoi, an academic and higher education professional, discussed the critical role of women in academia and research, emphasizing the need for inclusive educational practices.

Moderated by Ms. Karoline Molaeb and Dr. Sevan Adourian, the discussion was both insightful and deeply personal, touching on issues such as gender equity, personal growth, societal expectations, and the role of women in shaping the future.

The event provided a platform for authentic dialogue and community connection.

This celebration of International Women’s Day not only honored the strength and stories of women but also reaffirmed the university’s commitment to inclusivity and women’s empowerment .
