There are some people among the AUI,S faculty staff members
whose hard works are difficult to be noticed even though their efforts have
dramatic effect on the outstanding improvement AUI,S experiences these days.
The Third Eye, as one of the prime channels where such voices can be heard,
always tries to appreciate those hard-workers. We need to clarify for the AUI,S
community about those who do their jobs as it should be and those who don’t.
Today, Third Eye directs its extra eye to measure those who work well. However,
that doesn’t mean the same eye will ignore the others. For sure, there will be
the opposite description about those who do not do their jobs. We believe that
people who do their jobs should be known and differentiated from those who just
sit on their chairs and do almost nothing.
This time, the Third Eye introduces a man whose fabulous
effort he has put into his job so far creates several positive changes to
AUI,S. That man is Rebeen Azad, who is there and ready whenever work needs him
as he stated, “…when the work needs me
I am not counting hours. Instead, I am thinking of students who may benefit
from this extra work.” He started working at AUI,S on July 3rd
2011 . Azad is currently the Enrollment
and Financial Aid Manager at AUI,S. He is also involved in the recruiting,
admission and enrollment processes. Azad has B.Sc. in Chemistry from University of Sulaimani and MBA in
International Management and Leadership from the American University of Iraq,
Sulaimani. Azad is an experienced man who has worked in various fields of work,
government, NGOs, Media, Airport, and several other small businesses before.
Azad is married with two precious daughters, Tre and Alle and is living in a
small house in a neighborhood near AUI,S.
In a brief interview with the Thrid Eye, Azad uncovers
how he feels about the AUI,S community generally, specifically about his job.
Are you happy or
unhappy with your work? Why?
Regardless of the
fact that sometimes you have to be selective in accepting students, or making
decisions that may affect students, I am happy that I could treat all students
from different backgrounds equally and happier to work with such an amazing
team. I think that without each member of our team we couldn’t perform even
close to the quality and efficiency that we have worked in our department.
Tell us one thing you
really love about your job and one thing that really bothers you about your
job.
Honestly, the one
thing I love about my job is being able to make a difference in the system,
hopefully a positive difference. On another hand, sometimes, I can’t make it to
attend some social activities like funerals, parties …etc. It is true that
close family members and close friends are aware and understand my work demand,
nevertheless, some people only think that I wasn’t there, if they read this I
would like to apologize to them.
Beside your academic
work, what else do you spend your time with?
Family, news,
surfing the web.
What do you predict
about the future of AUI,S?
I have great hopes
from AUIS and I think that with the current student body, staff and faculty
members to be the best university in the entire country. Of course, that
doesn’t mean there isn’t room for improvement.
What is your message
for the AUI,S students?
I would like to
thank them from the bottom of my heart for being so nice to me, I apologize to
those who may’ve negatively affected by my decisions or job nature, I didn’t
mean to hurt anyone, I just tried to be fair.
If you have anything
else, we would be happier to hear.
Thank you very much for this opportunity and I would like to
seize this opportunity to ask our dear students to speak up any concern they
have, through the proper channels. This is a relatively young university and
constructive criticism will be always good, after all we are promising a
student-centered education style.
