DOPR TEAM

The People Behind UOD’s Voice and Vision

Meet the DOPR Team

The Directorate of Media and Public Relations (DOPR) at the University of Duhok (UOD) is powered by a dedicated team of storytellers, digital strategists, media coordinators, event planners, and public affairs professionals. These individuals work behind the scenes — and often at center stage — to shape the University’s image, amplify its impact, and maintain a vibrant, trustworthy public presence.

Together, they manage communications, design memorable events, develop partnerships, and curate UOD’s digital legacy — turning the everyday moments of university life into an inspiring, informative narrative.
