Assistant Professor of Media and Mass Communication, Dr. Noor Yusoff, was recently awarded second place in a calligraphy competition held by a Dubai gallery on 5 October 2019. Dr. Noor, who joined the faculty in August 2019, participated in the competition organized by Aisha Al Abbar Art Gallery. In line with the competition’s theme of “Tolerance,” Dr. Noor produced artwork that featured both Romanised and Arabic calligraphy. All participants were required to start and complete their artwork on canvas within a time limit of two hours at the gallery.
Another positive outcome from the calligraphy competition was the enthusiasm of the gallery owner to establish ties with Dr. Noor as a member of the faculty. This includes the possibility of future cultural events and programs to promote Arabic calligraphy to university students. The University congratulates Dr. Noor on his professional achievement.
