Week 6: Roles of Universities In Sustainable Development

 Salam everyone! during this week we explored a topic that is truly related to me and put me into a perspective that I havent really thought about before.

"The Role of Universities in Sustainable Development"

Universities arent always about studies, assigments and stressful exams. They are places for us students to grow and shape ourselves, to be someone who are to be future leaders, thinkers and inventors that will bring benefit throughout the whole world with small steps at first.

How Universities Support Sustainable Development
Some key points that I think are relevant:

• Teaching with purpose: Universities should teach not just knowledge, but values like responsibility, justice, and caring for the Earth.

• Holistic education: It’s not just about IQ, but also emotional intelligence and spiritual intelligence .

• Research for humanity: Universities should focus on research that benefits people, especially the most vulnerable, who need sustainable innovations the most.

• Community engagement: Students and lecturers should actively work with communities to create real change, not just stay in the classroom.

Daily Takeaways for Students Like Us (mostly me)

• Study not just for yourself, but for your community.

• Think big how can your future career contribute to the planet and humanity?

• Always keep ethics and empathy at the heart of what you do.

In the end of the day, anything starts with knowledge and well-equipped education. Universities arent a place or medium for us to get a scroll of certificates or gateway to get us employed, Universities are preparing us to do something good for the world, as Students we are the future of this Ummah !
