About Us
"Empowering Connections, Celebrating Heritage, Enriching Experiences" The Duke Saudi Students Association envisions a vibrant, supportive community that stands as a beacon of Saudi culture and heritage at Duke University. We strive to be a dynamic hub where the traditions and values of Saudi Arabia are celebrated and shared, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation among the diverse university populace. Our vision extends beyond cultural exchange; we are committed to empowering our members through academic support, professional development, and leadership opportunities. We aspire to cultivate a nurturing environment where Saudi students can thrive academically, socially, and personally, while also being ambassadors of their culture. We aim to build lasting bridges of friendship and collaboration within and outside the Duke community, promoting cross-cultural dialogue and mutual respect. Through our efforts, we envision Saudi students not only succeeding in their educational pursuits but also emerging as global citizens equipped with the skills, knowledge, and experiences necessary to contribute positively to the world. In embracing inclusivity, we seek to create a space where all voices are heard and valued, fostering a community that is united in its diversity. The Duke Saudi Students Association is dedicated to being a home away from home for Saudi students and a window into the rich Saudi culture for others. Our vision is one of connection, celebration, and enrichment, aiming to leave a lasting impact on every member and the broader Duke University community.
