JANADRIAH
30th Culture and Heritage Festival an Epic Adventure Yes, the Janadriah Festival 2016 is probably our favorite one yet. The organizers truly upped their ante and new additions to the Janadriah village had us skipping with joy. What’s not to love? You get to see the best of what each region has to offer, you get to learn history, soak in the wonders of the Kingdom, discover traditions and this year, MORE FOOD. One day wasn’t enough to fully indulge in the sights and sounds of the festival hence, we can’t wait for the next one and hopefully, they’ll start opening it up in the mornings for everyone.

THUMBS UP Yamama University Female Students Clinches Guiness World Record For World’s Largest Mosaic Made With Recycled Items
The female students at Yamama University (YU) collected thousands of plastic water bottles, water bottle caps, glass bottles, aluminum cans, cardboards, plastic bags and green plastic bottles in order to create the mosaic, which was designed in the form of the Saudi national emblem. This awesome green initiative was spearheaded by the College of Business at YU, managed by Dr. Tahreem Noor Khan and
Nada El Ali, guided by the Vice Dean of COBA, Dr. Rana Al Masri. We are amazed by the show of camaraderie and support among all the women at YU in achieving this feat and we hope other universities will take their lead.
