Recognizing the value of collaborating with other academic departments, and with the purpose of social service in mind, students of the Department of English organized a "Meet and Greet" event for students of the Arabic Centre for Non-Native Speakers. This event is unique as it helps students form new friendships, break the fear barrier sometimes inherent in university’s social life, as well as ease tensions surrounding the beginning of one's academic life. As students of a foreign language, this event also offers all participants (from both sides) an opportunity to self-actualize by answering random questions and taking part in board games in both Arabic and English.
