                                                               electrical devices  across all its facilities

                                                               the  faculty’s  dedication  to  supporting
                                                               both national and international efforts to

                                                               such as reducing energy consumption and
                                                               combating  global  warming,  in  order  to
                                                               ensure  a  more  sustainable  future  for
                                                               coming generations.
                                                               It is worth noting that Earth Hour was
