The award ceremony, organised by the Emirates Creativity Association and hosted at the Higher Colleges of Technology complex in Sharjah, also spotlighted individual excellence. Faris Al Hadi, Senior People with Disabilities Affairs Specialist at the Disability Resource Centre, received recognition in the Individual Category for his valuable contributions and prominent role in serving people with disabilities.
The ceremony drew a distinguished audience of leaders, officials and representatives from government agencies and institutions working in the field of support for people with disabilities across the country, underscoring the national significance of the award and the growing momentum behind inclusive development in the UAE.
For university officials, these honours reflect something deeper than institutional pride. Professor Ahmed Alomoush, head of the Disability Resource Centre, described the award as a testament to the centre's pioneering role in empowering people with disabilities across multiple domains. He noted that the recognition builds on a strong track record that includes the Khalifa Educational Award and a prize from the Emirates Society for Rare Diseases, cementing the centre's reputation as one of the leading bodies of its kind in the region.
The achievement aligns with the University of Sharjah's broader commitment to building an educational environment that is both inclusive and inspiring, one that enables all students to pursue their ambitions and contribute meaningfully to society. It also mirrors the UAE's national vision of empowering every segment of the community and ensuring their active participation in shaping a sustainable future for the country.
