A memo of understanding was signed on Sunday 26/10/1437 between MU and the General Authority of Metrology and Environmental Protection (PME). The primary aim of this cooperation, which was signed in the presence of MU Rector, Dr. Khalid Al-Muqrin, Director of (PME), Eng. Abdul Aziz Al-Dughaither, is to arrange with the PME about weather early warning systems. This step complies with MU vision to enhance the quality of metrology and environmental protection at the university as well as serving the society. A ceremony was held on this event, which commenced with a speech for MU Vice-Rector, Dr. Musallam Al-Dosari where he expressed the pride of the University in signing such an agreement for its significance in warning students during severe weather conditions, saving lives of students particularly who live in remote areas. On the progress resulted from this agreement, Dr. Al-Dosari stressed the dire need of this cooperation with PME, given that the university has several campuses located at distant locations. Dr. Dosari stressed that the officials at the University would be pleased to visit colleagues at the PME, coordinating efforts with the university and promoting joint action in the follow-up of weather conditions due to their important impact on work and study on campus. “The university transports mainly female students from a number of remote villages and hamlets to their various colleges, and the decision of class suspension should be appropriately taken,” Dr. Dosari added. Furthermore, he pointed out that the University sought to have the decision to suspend classes based on a clear vision and real necessity. A consulting Committee has been established in this regard so as to provide the needed help to the University. Dr. Dosari concluded his talk by thanking both the Rector for his unlimited support and the officials at PME for their participation and communication with the University. Then another speech was delivered by the PME Director, Eng. Abdul Aziz Al-Dughaither, where he thanked the officials at MU for their warm reception as well as their efforts in accomplishing the project. “I would like to thank you all for the warm welcome and the considerable efforts in that project. It’s really a great initiative and valuable service offered by the University to its communities,” Eng. Dughaither concluded.
