It was a full house at the Alumni Career Conversation and networking dinner at the Fall 2022 KAUST Career Fair. Lea Sublett from Alumni Affairs had the pleasure of being in conversation with a diverse panel of alumni working in sustainability, academia, research, science and entrepreneurship, and from countries including Saudi Arabia, India, Portugal and Malaysia.

PhD alumni Ruben Costa, Noor Zaouri, Sai Sudhakaram, and Chun Hong Kang, and MS alum and current PhD student Abdullah Alshehri, talked candidly about their careers, professional challenges (and opportunities), transitioning from a PhD to industry, and the importance of maximizing every chance to build relationships and create career opportunities.

Alumni Affairs looks forward to returning for the Spring 2023 KAUST Career Fair, and once again being in conversation with outstanding PhD and MS alumni who so openly enjoy giving advice and sharing career hints and tips to graduating students.
