Dr. Farouk El-Baz has arrived in Jeddah, and he visited the College on Wednesday afternoon. For some of us who were there, it was like meeting a rock star! He came in the middle of our chaotic preparations for the event, but he was a good sport about it all.
Speaking of preparations, we are all packed and ready to go. Fifty-plus boxes filled with CPUs, monitors, laptops, cables, badges, invitations, event materials, etc. will move from the College to the Hilton early tomorrow morning. Thanks to our mini army of maintenance staff, IT staff and wonderful volunteer students (guys and girls), we hope Inshallah to have everything ready in time for the event.
Also, our speakers and guest have started arriving and settling in. Ahlan Wasahlan! Welcome to Jeddah, we are all looking forward to meeting you soon.
Note: There will be a speaker's meeting at the Hilton on Friday at 5:00 pm. If you are unable to make it (some of you are going on Umrah), that's okay. But it would be a big help to us to be able to brief as many of you as possible on Friday. Hope you can make it.
