The University of Technology and Applied Sciences-Al Musannah (UTAS-A) dedicated a special day to celebrate and showcase its appreciation to all the academic and support staff members in a spectacular ceremony on 13 June 2023, that was held in the University Auditorium. The event glimmered from the minute the opening prayers were recited in the auditorium way to the bangs of lucky draws and fun games, which ended the ceremony on a high note.

The program started with a beautiful recitation of the opening prayer by Mr. Saad Al Mushaifiri from the Educational Technical Centre (ETC). Following the recitation, the emcees of the ceremony, Ms. Huria Moosa Al Balushi, from the English Language Centre (ELC) and Mr. Mudhaher Al Ajmi, from the Student Activities and Graduation Department, invited the Dean of UTAS-A, Dr. Ahmed Ali Ahmed Al Shahri to deliver his welcome speech.
