KAU Rector Osama Tayeb said a number of alumni who are prominent personalities both in the government and the private sector will attend the ceremony.

The ceremony will be hosted by the Economy and Public Administration College on the occasion of the accreditation granted to its program by the Association of MBAs, an independent international association that accredits higher studies programs in public administration. This is the first time a Saudi university has obtained this international recognition.

"We have obtained this accreditation after long years of hard labor and development," said Hussam Al-Anqari, dean of the college.
