Student Testimonials
Jose Davalos Monteiro
“The activities organized by the SPB group at KAUST were amazing and so much fun. I had a great time participating in them. I made new friends and got to know people from different backgrounds. The events were well-planned and created lasting memories. The SPB group made everyone feel welcome and included. I’m grateful for the wonderful experiences and friendships I gained through their activities.”

“The SPB has been quite influential on the life of the students so far. As a former student who has been involved in student engagement, I would like to say that the SPB has brought a positive change to the events programming at KAUST. Students now look forward to events organized by the team, especially those that foster community building. Going for the paintball in Jeddah allowed me to team up with students I didn’t know. That highlighted a platform for team building, which is a great initiative.”

“I really enjoy Student life activities; they have transformed my academic journey by providing an escape from my daily routine and involving me in engaging experiences. I had the opportunity to connect with new people, share new experiences with my friends, and create memories from my PhD journey. Among all the activities, the desert trips have been fun and special as they bring me closer to the Saudi culture. I encourage all students to be part of these activities. Trust me, you won’t regret it!”
