Professional Experience (Academic positions)

• Instructor forUNIV100 – First Year Seminar Course. CCP at Qatar University. (August 2020 – Present).

The First-Year Seminar is a foundational course created to provide first-year students with essential knowledge and practical skills for both personal development and academic achievement. It supports students as they make the important transition from high school to the more independent and demanding environment of university life. The course is structured around three core themes: self-awareness, understanding the university environment, and exploring broader societal and global contexts. These components guide students through an exploration of their own strengths and identities, familiarize them with campus resources, and connect their learning to the world around them.

Throughout the course, students engage in a variety of activities that foster critical thinking, such as extensive reading, community engagement, and research on topics pertinent to Qatari society. By participating in these activities, students are encouraged to see themselves as engaged citizen scholars, actively contributing to their communities while acquiring the skills necessary for continuous personal and academic growth. This approach underlines the importance of life-long learning as a way to adapt and thrive in a constantly changing world.

At the heart of this course is the philosophy that our individual growth and success are intrinsically linked to the relationships we build within our immediate university setting and the larger community. This philosophy emphasizes that a successful and meaningful university experience extends beyond academics, involving a sense of responsibility and involvement at multiple levels: personal, communal, and societal. The course is therefore focused on helping students establish strong, meaningful connections across these levels, fostering a foundation for both personal success and effective, positive citizenship in society.

• Instructor forUNIV220 – Service-Based Learning Course. CCP at Qatar University. (August 2022 – Present).

Service-Based Learning Course is designed to provide students with experiential learning by integrating academic study with meaningful community service activities and structured reflective practice. This course enables students to dedicate at least 40 hours to community fieldwork, addressing local needs while fostering a strong sense of civic responsibility. Through this experience, students are introduced to the essential concepts, benefits, and challenges of community service. The course equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to respond effectively to pressing community issues, encouraging them to remain engaged in societal work.

The course is structured around three core themes: recognizing the foundations of community service, applying these principles through hands-on experiences, and engaging in reflective practices to assess the impact of their contributions on themselves, others, and the broader community. Students will maintain an e-portfolio to document their reflections, showcasing the influence of their civic engagement on personal growth, their community, and society as a whole.

The philosophy of this course emphasizes the importance of understanding our role as individuals within our community, promoting active citizenship, and fostering lifelong learning. Through community-based activities, students are encouraged to see themselves as contributing citizens with a responsibility to support and uplift their society. This course strengthens relationships at three levels: personal commitment to community service, collaborative engagement with local organizations, and an appreciation for diverse societal needs on a local and global scale.
