A delegation from the German Jordanian University (GJU), consisting of the Dean of Student Affairs Dr. Thelal Owies, the President of the Student Council, the VP of the Council, and the Head of the Innovation Committee in the Council, visited several partner universities in Germany as part of the cross-border cultural exchange program funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
The visit aimed to familiarize the delegation with the administrative structures and systems of the universities, as well as the mechanisms of student self-governance and student councils.
