Promoting student run clubs is an important part of achieving this goal as well as creating a sense of community spirit and an exciting atmosphere for current and future students and alumni.
Fatima Alshehhi from the Korean Club said “We had a lot of students who were fascinated with the Korean culture so we made a club to celebrate that. We organize an entire day called Han day and we bring in Korean performers foods and learn to write our names in Korean. I think it’s important to learn about other cultures in order to open your mind and the Korean Club helps does this.”
