General Secretary’s Visit to Oman
At the invitation of IAESTE Oman, the first Full Member of IAESTE A.s.b.l. in the
Gulf Region, the General Secretary travelled to Muscat in early May and enjoyed the
hospitality of Sultan Qaboos University. As well as holding meetings with the Dean
of the Faculty of Engineering, the General Secretary was also given the opportunity
to give a presentation to the Deans of Agriculture and Science who expressed an
interest in including their students in the IAESTE Programme. Representatives from
Carnegie Mellon University in Qatar flew down to meet the General Secretary and to
learn about possible participation in IAESTE.

The visit also allowed the National Secretary of IAESTE United Arab Emirates, who had
been unable to attend the Annual Conference in Portugal in January to receive her
Certificate of Associate Membership from the General Secretary. The highlight of the
visit was a meeting with the Vice Chancellor of the University who pledged financial
support for the upcoming 60th Anniversary Conference in Jordan in January 2008.
