His Royal Highness; Prince Abdul-Aziz bin Ahmed bin Abdul-Aziz; President of the Regional Office of the International Agency Against Blindness for the Eastern Mediterranean, honored PSU and the large role it plays in the promotion of higher education in the Kingdom. His Royal Highness has drawn attention to considering the enormous potentials developed by the university in the service of its students and faculty members, stressing that the university; with its distinguished major disciplines; is a prominent model of the current evolution of higher education in the era of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Abdullah Bin Abdul-Aziz and HRH Running-Mate Prince Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz; may be conserved by God.

His Royal Highness Prince Abdul-Aziz bin Ahmed had visited PSU on Sunday afternoon eleventh of Muharram 1429 A.H., conformist to 20/1/2008G., and was received by HE Rector Dr. Ahmed Yamani, HE Rector’s Councilor for Administrative Affairs Dr. Saad Alrowetea, HE Rector’s Councilor for Academic Affairs Dr. Abdul-Hafeeth Feda, HE Rector’s consultant Dr. Obeid Abdali, Dr. Abdel Rahman Al-lowaiheq, a member of the faculty and supervisor of activities, Dr. Abdul-Qader Al-Khateeb, a member of the faculty, Mr. Ayman Al Sheikh Director of Public Relations, and a number of other PSU officials.

At a break in Prince Salman meeting Hall lasting for a half hour, HRH Prince Abdul-Aziz talked about education in the past, how serious and relentless students were, science collecting, and striving for success, despite the lack of many potentials; and the primitive equipments that were available at that time; yet the principles they learned in the past have become the backbone of many important life fields at present. He celebrated at the same time those teachers whose massive efforts were accredited; after God; for the science they have taught us, he said. HRH urged PSU students to intensify their efforts and take advantage of the great potentials available in the university, and to patience if they dealt with some passion or rigorous professors, he said. During his talk, HRH said that students should elaborately understand that they will reap their effort’s yield in the future, if God permitted. HRH finished his talk saying that students should not rush after graduation directly to high-level positions; because there is a functionally well known gradual system that an employee must pass by to learn many practical skills and get more experience.

We would like to draw the reader's attention to the PSU newspaper (Taif Al-Jameah) which will be published; with the authorization of His Almighty The God; a lengthy dialogue with HRH in one of its coming issues.
