OUR PEOPLE IN ACTION
HOW TO JOIN THE CLUB?
Students do not need to audition to join the club, as we are a group of students that hopes to share a piece of culture with people of other backgrounds. Just be open-minded and curious about the Middle East.
"Being part of the Al Khaleej ExCo has been a very fruitful journey for me. I really enjoyed learning more about the diverse Middle Eastern culture through the various events we have organized, and more importantly, meeting new friends!"
– Teng Xin Yi, Marketing director Year 3, 2021
"I met peers who share the same interests as me and this gave an opportunity to form friendships with people whom I might not have met in my classes. With that, I am also able to get involved with the campus life, especially since SMU is a city campus."
- Nur Khalisah Binti Ohrallayali, Year 3, 2021
