Welcome to the Community Service and Environmental Development Centre (CSED) in Pharos University in Alexandria. As being the Vice President of Community Service and Environmental Development Affairs, I am entrusted with the task of activating the social role of Pharos University through opening channels of communication with the authorities in charge of addressing the Alexandrian society issues.
This is in addition to participating in settling the social and economic development issues on both local and regional levels. The CSED draws up annual plans for the activities to be done during the year, including conducting researches in field training, convening workshops for specialists and actively engaging in raising the environmental awareness among members of society. Among the CSED activities is organizing humanitarian aid and medical convoys that are targeted at the dwellers of slum areas, including widows and orphans as well as the students of public schools located in the neighbourhood of Pharos University. These school students are provided with free medical services by the PUA physical therapy and dentistry students. The CSED is also so keen to maintain contact with civil society organizations such as charities and orphanages in particular who are extended an invitation by Pharos University to participate in the grand celebration that is organized every year.
