Your Excellency Engineer Mohammed Abudawood,

Mr. Khalid AlKhudair,

Ms. Sarah AlAyad

Vice President of Riyad Bank,

Honored guests, and Effat Family,

,,,,‫السالم عليكم ورحمة هللا وبركاته‬

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to our 15th

Career Fair event. As part of Effat University efforts to help

its students achieve their goals in securing future jobs,

2
internships and co-ops, we started Career Fair. In this event,

our students will have the opportunity to meet future

sponsors, reputable and well established companies’

representatives and some of the most influential individuals in

our community. Meeting them, our students will be inspired

to work hard and commit to their pursuit of their future goals.

The theme of this annual Career Fair is “Determination”

(‫)إصراري‬. A quality, we here at Effat strive to instill in our

students for them to pursue their dreams. Teaching students to

“seize the day” and to explore every opportunity will, no

doubt, assist them in their journey and their path to succeed.

3
We, also, teach our students the importance of building one’s

career path. Knowing or determining where they want to go

and how to get there, will most certainly, facilitate their

search for the right and most suitable career that will help

them enrich and make a difference in their community.

I would like to extend my deep thanks and utmost

appreciation, on behalf of all Effat family and HRH Princess

Lolowah AlFaisal, to all participants and sponsors who made

this event possible. I would, also, like to thank Effat’s team

under the leadership of Dr. Jannat Al Abbasi, the Dean of

Students Affairs, Ms. Andrea Taguibao, Director of

4
Enhancement Centre, and Ms. Souad Saglawi the manager of

the Career Development Office. Thank you all for your hard

work and dedication.

Thank you,,,
