Community Service Strategy
The university annual community service strategy: partnerships, consultancy, student and graduate engagement, and community technology.
Madenat Alelem University sees its social role as providing services and programmes that meet the needs of the local and global community. The university annual community service plan is an important strategy to strengthen positive interaction between the university and its surrounding society, creating opportunities for students, staff and the local community to engage through a range of initiatives and activities that build bridges of communication and positive partnerships.
