A Competition to Design "A Smoking-free University" Logo

In maintenance of its national anti-smoking campaign under the banner of "A Smoking-free University", KAU Deanship of Students' Affairs has staged a competition to have a new logo designed for the campaign under the title of "A New Logo towards  a Sheer Willpower".

The winning logo will be launched by HE Prof Osama S. Tayyeb, KAU President, at the beginning of this year's second semester.

The selection committee has held a meeting to review the 32 competing logos and recommended having them uploaded on the University's main website, pending a free vote by university affiliates and the public to pick the best three.

The list of prizes includes a car, a sea jet, a bedroom and a set of jewelry.

Prof Abdullah Mustafa Mehriji, Dean of Students' Affairs, pointed out that the campaign was aimed at creating a healthy KAU environment in a bid to meet the standards of international accreditation as to ensure having healthy classrooms. It was also aimed at lending a helping hand to the KAU students and staff to steer clear of the harmful health and financial effects of smoking and to minimize smoking-related deaths, in addition to helping students quit smoking, thereby avoiding financial exhaustion.

This was unveiled by Mr Ahmed Mohammed Al Omari, Media Coordinator at the Deanship of Students' Affairs.
