Welcome to UoR Highlights, the official newsletter of the University of Ruhuna. We intend to publish UoR Highlights bi-annually with the aim of fostering a dialog among our key stakeholders. More specifically, the UoR Highlights publishes information on recent developments, events, research publications, conferences and collaborative research projects at the University of Ruhuna. In addition, in each issue, we publish feature articles which address current topic in education and higher education.

Together with other publications at the University of Ruhuna, we believe that UoR Highlights will generate interest among our stakeholders by creating a platform for fostering an effective dialogue.

We welcome your comments and suggestions that will enhance the future directions of UoR Highlights.
