Thank you to KAUST Management & the organizers, entertainers, food stalls and entertainment stalls for a well executed event. Also thanks to all the hands who worked in the background to erect the stalls & stages and who then cleaned up after the event. It was a great 5 Year celebration and a great success. Congratulations !

Many congratulations to everyone involved in organising this – a huge effort that resulted in a most impressive event. Kudos to the ‘behind the scenes’ crews who did a marvellous job.

I’ve spent a great time with my family in this event, and I would like to thank all departments at the university who involved in organizing this event.
Thank you KAUST for making the members and their dependents happy…
