| Dr.
Ahmed Alam Eddine's Farewell Party
 After twenty-three years of continuous service at KFUPM and
six years at HCC, Dr. Ahmed Alam Eddine, former chairman of
the Math department has recently retired.
Before Dr. Alam Eddine joined the college since its
inauguration in 1998, he also taught at KFUPM which he joined
in 1975. Besides teaching, he was
actively participating in research projects within the Math
department. His long teaching experience played an important
role in establishing the Math department at HCC. His
contributions to the department and to the college have been
excellent. In addition to his teaching experience, managerial
skills, and personal demeanor, Dr. Alam Eddine was also known for his pleasant character, wisdom, and patience to deal with the
most delicate situations. He is liked by his colleagues,
students, friends, and the community. Though we all miss him,
he definitely deserves an enjoyable retirement.
Dr. Alam Eddine is returning to Lebanon to join his family and
friends. A farewell party, which coincides with the faculty
members and their families’ reunion end of last year, was
organized to honor him. The
party was honored with the presence of the Dean of HCC, Dr.
Mohammed A. Al-Naafa who gave a speech on this occasion in
which he said that Dr. Alam Eddine is more than just a
colleague; he is indeed one of the members of the HCC growing
family.
He briefed the audience of his early moments of his
acquaintance with Dr. Alam Eddine at KFUPM and how the latter
was called upon to join HCC. The Dean also added that Dr. Alam
Eddine’s enthusiasm as well as his wisdom to solve problems
and motivate his team has certainly helped in placing the Math
department at forefront.
The Dean concluded his speech by thanking Dr. Alam Eddine and
wishing him all the best and continuous success in life. He
further indicated that although Dr. Ahmed will be sorely missed,
we all wish him to enjoy more
time with his family and grandchildren.
As a reward of his diligent work during the long past
years, the Dean awarded Dr. Alam Eddine with a commemorative
plaque. Dr. Alam Eddine thanked the Dean and appreciated the Dean’s heartfelt
words. Dr. Ahmed Alam Eddine also thanked his colleagues and
who ever worked with him and said that it was a great feeling
to receive recognition for work being covered for many years.
