His Excellency Prof. Dr. Abdulrahman bin Hamad Al-Dawood, President of the University, said: There are spoilers and envious of this country who try through social media to incite the youth of the Kingdom against their country, their leadership, and the gains of this country, and the first loser is the one who believes them.
 
During the "Student Meeting" organized by the Deanship of Student Affairs at the university on Monday, 17/1/1441 A.H., at the headquarters of the University City, the UQU President warned his fellow students against those who try to penetrate the distinguished national cohesion between the people and the leadership, and advised them not to pay attention to the fleeting words of some, pointing out that the stability in which our country enjoys is what made the student reach the university as easily as possible, from the first elementary school until he graduated from high school and entered the university.
 
Addressing the students, he added: "If you are in an unstable country, you will not get any degree or education: If you are in an unstable country, you will not get any certificate or education, we are in a great blessing, advising them: "Do not hand over your mind to others", and do not let others manage it, you have an intellect, so think to know what is the difference between better, better and worse, and to know the right way from the wrong way, stressing the necessity and importance of preserving our homeland, solidarity with our rulers, and appreciating the efforts of the state that it is making for our benefit.
 
The UQU President congratulated all male and female students on their admission to the university, asking Allah Almighty to make their journey in this university a march of goodness, giving and excellence, serving our religion and our country under our wise leadership, saying: "We in this university live as one team, with the participation of everyone, starting from the university president, vice presidents, deans, directors of departments, and all university employees, down to the male and female students, as we are all one team and walk with cooperation and solidarity to achieve one goal, which is to have a distinguished product that we are proud of in order to serve our country and our religion in its comprehensive development in various fields.
 
During his talk with the students, Al-Dawood emphasized the need to preserve the gains of the university and cooperate with everyone to raise its level, because their reputation is the reputation of their university, and because the certificate they will receive after graduation will continue with them throughout their lives, saying: "We are with you and we listen to you, and if no one hears you, I am there, and I hear you through my e-mail on the university website, which I constantly check and listen to you, and all messages sent to him are followed up, as we received very many messages, and they were referred to those concerned, and many of them were followed up, and thank God it had many benefits not only for the sender, but also for me in the university administration.
 
Mr. Al-Dawood pointed out that the methods of communication are very present in the university, as we have a beneficiary service that last year received more than forty-eight thousand and nine hundred calls received by colleagues and responded to the inquiries and questions of callers, which is a very large number, but on the contrary, this helps us in serving you and raising the level of the university, which is our home, so we must all cooperate to raise it, asking those who have a proposal, observation or any inquiry to contact us through the university's communication methods, and we all seek to serve you, because the basis of the university is its students.
 
The university president stressed the need for students to be determined and not pay attention to those who are discouraged, and to be keen to raise the average since the beginning of the first semester, expressing his hope that students will build a high average from the beginning, and not get discouraged because this is a good opportunity to raise the average, especially since they are in a new stage and the field is open to them.
 
Al-Dawood explained that the university has many activities, and among them will be the "skill record", which is a record that will be with the student upon graduation attached to all conferences, seminars and activities that the student attends, and is monitored electronically, and will record the student's attendance and duration, and will also record in this record any effort made by the student, saying that we are moving in one boat to serve this country and serve its development under our wise leadership: We are traveling in one boat to serve this country and its development under our wise leadership.
 
The UQU President concluded his speech by talking about the great support that the university receives from the government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Emir of Qassim and His Highness the Deputy Emir, pointing out that there is no university in the world that gives a bonus to the student as Saudi universities do, and the encouragement and support that students receive, in addition to the billions of riyals spent on education to reach what we reached, or what others could not reach, and I recommend you my children to your country, your leadership and your people well.
