Prince Sultan
University’s College of Business Administration (CBA) continues to lead efforts
in promoting experiential learning and global engagement, in line with Saudi
Vision 2030 and sustainable higher education practices. As part of this vision,
the college participated in the prestigious Global Sustainability Project Bootcamp, organized by the international organization How to Change the World (HTCTW), under the MEBAS global partnership initiative.
This global educational
program brought together hundreds of students from over 35 universities
worldwide, empowering them to design innovative solutions to real
sustainability challenges using collaborative, human-centered, and digitally
enabled methods. In addition to critical thinking and teamwork development,
students received a digital badge to showcase their skills and accomplishments.
Six outstanding CBA students represented PSU in
the Spring 2025 cohort:
·
Abdulaziz Alghamdi – Finance
·
Waleed AlFayez – Finance
·
Afnan Zubair Siddiqui – Marketing
·
Wed Alghamdi – Marketing
·
Raneem Alfadhel – Marketing
·
Haifa Alshehri – Finance
These students
collaborated with international peers to address global sustainability
challenges, including renewable energy adoption, sustainable urban mobility,
and community-driven innovation. One PSU student team, for example, proposed an
innovative approach to accelerate the shift from diesel-powered minibuses to
electric buses in Nairobi, Kenya, through behavioral and economic
interventions.
The initiative also
highlighted the college’s academic leadership. Dr. Rhada Boujlil served as a faculty mentor, supporting international
student teams in interdisciplinary project development. Meanwhile, Dr. Nof Al-Sufyani participated in the Experiential Educator Fellowship, gaining tools to integrate experiential learning into PSU
courses. These efforts strengthen the college’s alignment with AACSB accreditation standards, particularly those
related to engagement, innovation, and impact.
Overall, the initiative enhanced PSU’s international visibility, supported curriculum development through global best practices, and reinforced the university’s commitment to preparing future leaders who are equipped to address complex global issues.
