The º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ (º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½) organized the first Annual Business Administration Alumni Reunion on Tuesday 4 December 2018, at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ Cultural Center in the presence of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees Mr. Fahad Al-Othman and faculty members.
During the reunion, Al-Othman talked about the challenges that graduates might face in the beginning of their careers.
“During all phases of life, listen to your inner voice so you can identify and set your priorities. Dream, work hard, take risks but do not be afraid and believe in your abilities to reach success”, Al-Othman said.
Al-Othman added: “The problem does not lie in making mistakes, but in not accepting them, and in surrendering to failure. Therefore, believe that all challenges and experiences are opportunities to benefit from”.
He left students with a message “º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½’s Story is not a typical success story but it stems from a deep and strong will to deliver the best. We want you to develop your skills, to progress and succeed because Kuwait depends on your efforts; you are the core of our society and its future”.

The finance graduate Mariam Al Mashmoum expressed her happiness to be among professors and friends. “Every corner in º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ carries a dear memory to our hearts.

The most important thing I have learned at º¬Ð߲ݴ«Ã½ is leadership”.
