Dubai Medical University proudly hosted its first Emerging Leaders Orientation & Training session, marking an important step in developing and empowering student leadership within our community. The session, held on campus, brought together newly elected and nominated members of the Student Council, governance committees, and cohort representatives, all committed to strengthening the student voice at DMU.

This inaugural session introduced students to the core responsibilities of their leadership roles, focusing on effective communication, representation, and the importance of collaboration with university decision-makers. The training outlined the essential skills needed to ensure that student leaders serve as strong, informed advocates for their peers.

Participants engaged in discussions on leadership principles, governance structures, and strategies for contributing positively to the enhancement of student life. The atmosphere reflected enthusiasm and readiness among the attendees to take on their responsibilities with dedication and purpose.

DMU emphasized that student voice is a fundamental component of institutional growth and development. The contributions of student leaders continue to play a vital role in shaping the learning environment, enriching university culture, and ensuring that students’ perspectives inform key decisions.

The success of this first orientation marks the beginning of a wider training series that will continue throughout the academic year, reaffirming DMU’s commitment to developing confident, knowledgeable, and capable student leaders.
