Saudi Students Association

About This Organization

Abbreviation(s):
SSA
Purpose:
MISSION
The main aim in creating the Saudi Students Association (SSA) is to introduce the culture and civilization of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to the Aggie community through participating in university events. Also, assist Saudi students and their families in adjusting to life in the United States by connecting them with current Saudi families and familiarizing them with American traditions and customs. All SSA members must have human values and morals that call for tolerance and helping others.

VISION
The Saudi Arabian Vision 2030 places a strong emphasis on the need for volunteerism in building a more cohesive society. A favorable environment for Saudi students at the university is the goal of the officers, thus they set out from this premise to build a community of connected members and cohesive students who work together to achieve that association goal.
