About the Literary Talent Unit :

The Literary Talent Unit is aligned with the vision of the nation's 2030 plan, which aims to cultivate the talents of the people as part of achieving this ambitious national vision. The unit recognizes that nurturing talent can transform it into a productive force that serves the country. The unit has observed promising literary talents emerge among the students, reflected in their diverse and aspiring literary works. Additionally, the faculty have demonstrated strong research, literary, and critical capabilities, and have served as mentors and critics for these student talents. Based on these factors, a proposal was made to establish a dedicated unit to foster the literary talents of the students. The unit's purpose is to provide structured guidance and organization to this endeavor, with the goal of becoming a leading model in fulfilling the aspirations of both the state and the university.
