Vice President – Khalid AlKhatib
Assalamu’Alaikum Peeps!
My name is Khalid Alkhatib! I’m a Junior majoring in Economics and minoring in the Elements of Computing certificate (wait is that technically minoring? idk let just go with it). I love sports! #DemBoys #MFFL (I’m a Dallas boy, as you can see). I have this weird obsession with shoes and it’s borderline unhealthy, yes I’m a sneakerhead. I enjoy chilling with my friends, being active, and being involved with MSA as well as Nueces Mosque. I like to create, my own words such as freshly and wook, but apparently that’s not “normal”, whatever h8ers. If you ever see me or need help with anything don’t hesitate to hit me up!

Education Director – Asad Ahmed
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu!
My name is Asad Ahmed, and I’m a second-year Electrical and Computer Engineering student.

I love TV series, movies, video games, hanging out with my friends, reading the Quran, and just talking in general! I also LOVE exploring, sightseeing, and traveling! You can usually find me on the Union 4th/5th (because PCL is too mainstream), at the Nueces Library, in the EER, or at Halal Bros. Feel free to come say Salam if you ever see me, because I’m super laid-back and would welcome the procrastination! I look forward to having a great year with all of you In Sha’ Allah!

When I’m not studying or doing MSA stuff, I’m most likely spending time with my friends, doing service with other orgs on campus, or watching Netflix. I can’t wait to get to know everyone, so if you see me around campus, come say hi! We’re going to have a wonderful year, inshAllah.
