Abdurrahman Al Adawi, one of the MEC alumni expressed his happiness about participating in the event. He commented: \u201cI am really happy that we, as alumni, got the chance to meet each other again after almost a year since we graduated and even more for other members, and it is for sure a great opportunity to rebuild the relationship between the alumni and the college\u201d. <\/p>\n
