On August 24, 2026, the Department of International Relations successfully conducted its Department Orientation at the Al-Farouqi Building, bringing together students, faculty members, and the Junior Diplomatic Corps for a meaningful day of learning, connection, and engagement.

The orientation provided students with a comprehensive overview of the department’s academic programs, rules, policies, and expectations, while also introducing the IR faculty and JDC officers. Discussions on career paths, internship and exchange opportunities, and other avenues for professional development gave students a clearer perspective on the possibilities that await them in the field of International Relations.

Through an open forum, inspirational messages, and meaningful exchanges, the orientation fostered a stronger sense of community and encouraged students to embrace the opportunities and responsibilities that come with being part of the department.
