KUWAIT: Zain, the leading digital service provider in Kuwait, recognized the top ten Kuwaiti students in the United States as part of its Platinum Sponsorship of the 36th annual conference of the National Union of Kuwaiti Students in the United States of America (NUKS USA) in San Diego.
Zain is proud to be the Platinum Sponsor of the conference, continuing its role as a main supporter of the event for 16 years. The conference is considered the largest gathering of Kuwaiti students abroad, and Zain’s support comes in line with its Corporate Sustainability and Social Responsibility strategy towards the youth and education sectors, as well as its belief in connecting with the country’s youth abroad.
Zain recognized the top ten Kuwaiti students in the United States with the aim of shedding light on their outstanding academic performance, which positively reflected Kuwait abroad. The company also organized the Zain Football Tournament for students participating in the conference. The tournament witnessed exciting competition from the participants, and Zain awarded the winning teams.
As it does every year; Zain contributed to the event by organizing a number of unique activities and programs. The company sponsored a special sports seminar that featured many distinguished Kuwaiti athletes, and hosted a special workshop that discussed accelerating tech startups and featured many successful entrepreneurs. Zain also took part in a special exhibition for sponsors, where it offered its exclusive promotions to students, presented its available career opportunities, as well as showcased its leading experience in the telecom sector. In addition, the company has prepared a number of surprises for students who will be visiting the event.
Zain recently announced one of the biggest surprises it prepared for students studying abroad, especially in the United States; an all-new offer that allows students who own postpaid lines to keep their numbers while studying abroad for KD 3 monthly only, with 1 GB of free local Internet that can be used when coming back home during holidays. Zain specially designed this offer to meet the needs and aspirations of students abroad, who usually lose their local numbers because of inactivity while studying abroad. The company was keen on presenting this offer to allow them to easily keep their numbers.
The NUKS USA conference featured many unique activities, including a workshop entitled ‘Phonorizma’ for creating a charismatic brand through social media and smartphones, a selfdevelopment workshop for female students, and an economic seminar. The event also hosted the stars of Kuwait Pulse 88.8 FM, and a concert by popular Kuwaiti band Miami. All these activities and more featured many public/media figures, politicians, social activists, athletes, and more.
Zain’s presence in the event conveys its enthusiasm to interact with the future generations of Kuwaiti youth, especially those who pursue their education abroad, as the NUKS USA conference is considered the largest gathering of Kuwaitis outside of Kuwait, and welcomes students from all around the US. The distinctive event appeals to students on both an intellectual and social levels and it serves as an open forum for them to exchange opinions and views regarding important domestic issues with the presence of distinguished national figures from the Kuwaiti society.
Zain sees its annual participation in the conference as part of its responsibility as a leading national company to help provide bright and enthusiastic young Kuwaitis with a great social experience, as well as listen to their ideas and experiences while pursuing their education abroad.
The National Union of Kuwaiti Students in the United States of America (NUKS USA) serves nearly 10,000 Kuwaiti students studying in the United States. The Union aims, through its events and programs, to connect Kuwaiti students with each other on one level, and with their nation and the latest updates of the Kuwaiti community on another. NUKS USA was publicized in the USA and was granted the recognition of the United States government. The achievement is considered a proud milestone for Kuwait’s youth, and is a direct result of the great relations between the State of Kuwait and United States. Such a recognition is a clear reflection of the strategic relations between the two nations.
