Why was PSNI formed?

After conducting an initial survey with the current student body of PISES- Riyadh, we realised that most students agreed that there were gaps in the current available sources and the needs of outgoing students. Some of the survey results are included below.

Organisational Structure

Below is a brief description of how we currently operate. The Event Organisation department organises events for the student body, and the marketing department establishes student relations to increase outreach. Each department has a small group of volunteers that work under them. The Alumni Network Department is made of directors from both departments, an focuses solely on building a database of alumni (for further information see the alumni network page)
