Texas A&M at Qatar recently launched the Graduate Student Association for TAMUQ graduate students and TAMU graduate students studying at Qatar. 
 
The speakers were:
Dr. César Malavé, Dean TAMUQ  
Dr. Patrick Linke, Executive Director of Graduate Studies
Dr. Ahmed Abdel-Wahab, Professor Chemical Engineering
Osama Desouky, President of the Graduate Student Association
Damian Medina, Director Student Affairs
 
Attendees: Vice Dean of TAMUQ, Dr. Eyad Masad, faculty of the CHEN Department, TAMUQ & TAMU graduate students (Master and Ph.D. graduate students all Engineering Departments) and administrators and GSA committee members.  Interested graduate students were asked to sign their names to join the GSA. 
 
TAMUQ hope the activities of this association can be utilized to further enhance the academic life of our graduate students and to  promote the graduate program locally and internationally.  The event was an opportunity to exchange ideas and proposals on the future planned events for GSA.  It was also an opportunity to inform graduate students on the planned professional development workshops for graduate students and hear their comments and views. 

Pictures of their launch event can be seen on the TAMUQ Graduate Studies Facebook page here.
