As part of Ain Shams University Faculty of Law’s commitment to strengthening communication and fostering a culture of appreciation among members of its community, and in celebration of the new academic year, the faculty organized a luncheon at 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at the Ain Shams University Guest House, under the patronage of Prof. Yassin El-Shazly, Dean of the Faculty. The gathering aimed to explore prospects for establishing a Faculty of Law branch at Ain Shams National University, honor several distinguished faculty staff, and further strengthen the bonds of friendship and fellowship within the Ain Shams Faculty of Law community.

The initiative reflects the faculty administration’s belief that strong institutions are built not only on hard work and achievement, but also on mutual respect and solidarity, and that strengthening collegial bonds is instrumental in advancing the faculty’s academic and educational mission in a spirit of teamwork.

Embodying these values, the faculty organized the gathering to bring members of the Ain Shams Faculty of Law community together in a warm and collegial atmosphere, fostering stronger bonds among them in a way that positively contributes to the faculty, its mission, and its students.

The gathering also marked the launch of the faculty’s “Reunion” Unit, highlighting its role and importance in strengthening bonds among colleagues, promoting human and social interaction, and fostering a sense of unity that the faculty hopes will remain a hallmark of its longstanding academic community.

The proposed credit-hour programs would offer new academic pathways aligned with the requirements of both local and international labor markets.

In this context, and with the generous support of Prof. Mohamed Abdel Karim Salheen, Vice President of Ain Shams National University for Academic Affairs, Dr. Hesham Kassab, Coordinator of Ain Shams National University, delivered a presentation introducing the University and highlighting its key features and advantages, recent developments, latest facilities and modern infrastructure, academic programs, and the resources and capabilities that enhance its competitiveness in higher education.
