A message by the Chief Executive of the IT & Communication Department:

Coping with the strategy plan of the Sulaiman Alrajhi University that aims at the University’s development and a future maker through building leaders; the human asset. Since day one of this department, the target has always been considering maximum use of IT as the main platform supporting the digital transformation in the field of education and management. This is in addition to supporting all points of distinction through the global digitization to align with national vision of the Kingdom and the University.

Undoubtedly, the world is witnessing a global change where technology plays a main role that is manifest in all aspects of life: social media, which is connecting families and friends, Internet services, teaching aids, reaching to banking services. Thus all universities, worldwide, must be prepared to cope with such challenges outreaching local communities.
