Esteemed faculty members, respected colleagues in the college administration, and dear students, peace be upon you. Today, we embark on a collective journey towards the development and enhancement of the Computer Science and Information Technology College. It is an honor for me to work alongside this distinguished team.

Education and knowledge are the keys to nations’ progress, as highlighted in the Quran: “Allah will raise those who have believed among you and those who were given knowledge by degrees.” (Surah Al-Mujadila, 58:11). This underscores the importance and profound impact of knowledge.

Therefore, we strive to provide an educational environment that encourages learning, research, and guides students towards both the scientific and practical aspects of education. Our goal is to ensure a cognitive environment that is fundamental for students and faculty members.

Faculty members, I invite you to focus on scientific research and actively participate in developing technological knowledge. Your research contributes to enriching knowledge and providing solutions to the challenges our society faces. I urge you to invest more effort in scientific research, participate in conferences, workshops, and developmental courses.

We are committed to achieving excellence and seeking international rankings for our college and university. We also believe in the importance of applying quality standards in all academic and administrative areas. In administration, we continuously work to improve work methods and the efficiency of assigned tasks, valuing our dedicated staff.

We are also committed to supporting our graduates and maintaining communication with them post-graduation through developmental courses to qualify them for jobs in both public and private sectors.

One of our priorities is establishing new scientific departments that meet the needs of the job market, such as departments in Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and others. We are expanding Master’s and Ph.D. programs in Computer Science.

We also aim to combat corruption and promote transparency in all university work areas. In conclusion, I pray that Allah grants us success in this path, bestows knowledge and wisdom upon us, so we can offer the best of our abilities in the service of our beloved Iraq.
