One of Sijal's very own students, Fieke Huisman led a discussion on her experience as the First Secretary at the Netherlands Embassy in Riyadh. Her talk demonstrated how a new king, falling oil prices, and regional turbulence have caused major political and economic changes throughout recent years.
We host lectures and cultural activities every week in the Fall and Spring terms, and twice a week in the Summer Intensive programs. The lectures span history, politics, music, literature, journalism, sociology, environmental issues, and much more! We’ve been honored to host a number of notable speakers at Sijal, and a non-exhaustive list of lectures that have been held in the past can be found below.
