The Faculty of Business at Ain Shams University today moved from platforms of intellectual and research creativity to the field of practical action. Following the launch of "Earth Week" activities and a marathon of student competitions, the vision was realized under the slogan "Sow growth for the land... Reap a lasting legacy for the future."

The faculty witnessed a large-scale tree-planting and beautification campaign, carried out in an atmosphere of cooperation and integration among the university's faculties, affirming that preserving the environment is an institutional commitment that begins with planting roots and ends with reaping the fruits of sustainability.

This field initiative came about through close collaboration with the Faculty of Agriculture at Ain Shams University, which provided the best selected trees to ensure the success of the experiment according to sustainable environmental standards.

The environmental celebration was attended by Prof. Farid Muharram Al-Jarhi, Dean of the Faculty, accompanied by Prof. Muhammad Morsi, Vice Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development, and Prof. Gihan Ragab, Advisor to the Dean for Community Service and Environmental Development. Also present were Prof. Hanan Hussein, Director of the Unit for Supporting Students with Special Needs, and enthusiastic participation from faculty employees and a large group of students who eagerly contributed to leaving their green mark on their faculty grounds.

The efforts focused on planting a selection of fruit trees that combine aesthetic value with economic potential. Fifteen orange trees, three date palms of the premium Barhi variety, and two mango trees were planted.

The tree-planting initiative encompassed the main street gardens of the faculty, the Al-Ma'moun back area, the courtyards surrounding the faculty mosque, and the faculty nursery, transforming the campus pathways into a vibrant and beautiful green space.

The initiative wasn't limited to tree planting; it also included a comprehensive beautification campaign that involved painting the faculty's sidewalks, lending a sense of renewal and order that aligns with the university's green identity.

In this context, Prof. Farid Muharram Al-Jarhi emphasized that this practical step complements the scientific and artistic competitions held at the college. He pointed out that involving students from all backgrounds, especially students with disabilities, in beautifying their academic institution contributes to instilling environmental citizenship values ​​in them and hones their skills to lead the future of the green economy with awareness and a sense of belonging.
