The Community College of Qatar (CCQ) unveiled its new logo in a ceremony, Sunday.
The move aims at enhancing national identity and reflecting CCQ's ongoing commitment to renewal and growth, the two pillars of its recently launched 2023-2030 strategic plan, which aims to enhance its position as one of Qatar's leading higher education institutions, which builds a knowledge-based society and creativity-stimulating environment.
Designed by Qatari artist Fatima al-Sharshani, the logo design incorporated Arabic calligraphy as a combination of heritage and modernity, and employs the colors of the Qatari national flag as a symbol of pride and national belonging. It embodies CCQ's vision and national identity as the largest national university college in Qatar and highlights its unique role as part of the Qatari community.
CCQ President, Dr Khalid al-Horr said the new identity reflects the CCQ's unique nature and ability to adapt to the students' needs and the Qatari labour market requirements. As Qatar's largest national university college, the CCQ has granted more than 7,000 academic degrees, including associate diplomas and bachelors degrees, to more than 5,300 male and female graduates, and qualified over 3,260 male and female students to pursue their university studies in prestigious educational institutions.
It is not just a logo or a design, it is a reflection of the identity of the national community college, and its values of pride, uniqueness, flexibility, empowerment and cooperation, and its new 2023-2030 strategy based on renewal and development, he added.
He pointed out that thanks to collective efforts and creative thinking, the new identity will be a beacon of inspiration for students and faculty members to achieve more success and further enhance the CCQ's position as a leading educational institution.
CCQ's Public Relations Head Safia Al Sheeb that the new logo reflects the flexibility of the college and emphasises the importance of adhering to cultural and heritage values.
Talking to reporters, CCQ President, Dr Khalid al-Horr, explained that the college's 2023-2030 strategy, which was approved by its Board of Trustees, includes a number of new initiatives, one of which is programmes. He pointed out in this context that the college has developed a framework for new academic programmes, in addition to another framework for evaluating existing programs in order to consider the suitability of investing in them, developing them, or changing them.
With the beginning of 2025 and the Fall semester of the same year, new programmes will be launched in accordance with the curriculum development framework or programme development recently approved by the College's Board of Trustees, he noted.
