The Saudi Students Association (SSA) at NYU is a dynamic and inclusive community dedicated to connecting and supporting Saudi students across the university. Our mission is to create a home away from home for Saudi students and to welcome those from neighboring countries and beyond to explore our culture, showcasing Saudi Arabia's dedication to collaboration and regional unity. We are deeply committed to celebrating and sharing the rich cultural heritage of Saudi Arabia, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of our traditions, values, and history within the broader NYU community. The SSA focuses on three main pillars to enrich our members' experiences:
Social: We host cultural events and large gatherings where students can socialize, build friendships, and strengthen community ties. These events offer a welcoming space for meaningful conversations and connections.
Recreational: Our recreational activities and games provide fun and engaging opportunities for members to relax and enjoy themselves. These events foster teamwork and camaraderie through shared experiences.
Career: We support our members' professional growth through workshops, recruitment events, and guest speaker sessions. These events aim to enhance career development, provide networking opportunities, and prepare students for future success.
Through these diverse and enriching events, the SSA aims to represent Saudi Arabia authentically and vibrantly, providing a platform for cultural exchange and lifelong friendships. Join us to experience the warmth of Saudi hospitality and to be part of a thriving, culturally enriched community at NYU.
