This year, and on the 1st of November, 2016, Sultan Qaboos University launched a new program called “Engagement” where 6 selected academics from SQU where invited to address hundreds of parents of new SQU

and engage with them in a dynamic forum discussing different topics of importance to them as parents of students at SQU.

I thoroughly enjoyed engaging with the parents at this event where my talk “Life at University” focused on 3 main points.

1) Building confidence

2) Acquiring skills

3) Aiming big and aspiring high

It was a different experience addressing parents rather than students this time 🙂 !
