Our community beacons

During these times in which we are challenged to redefine our social interactions, Community Life re-launches People of KAUST to highlight connectedness and empathy in our community.

From a dynamic volunteer to a young leader, from an active spouse to a creative student, we are all ambassadors of our community. People of KAUST is a celebration of citizenship and pride, offering stories about KAUST community beacons who make our campus so unique. Irrespective of their national origins, People of KAUST are people of the world who uphold our community’s values of citizenship, compassion, diversity, inspiration, openness, and integrity.

Your stories

The passion KAUSTians have for their community never fails to impress. People of KAUST is dedicated to sharing stories that demonstrate the KAUST values in action and highlight the “beacons” within our community.

• Marcos Aguilar feels our community is so special that its stories can be turned into a book, movie or even a TV series
• Mohamad Ghieh is one of the first members of our KAUST community and immediately had a sense of belonging
