Taibah University

This guide to Taibah University in Medina follows Dr. Nawal Alrasheed, a pharmacologist who spent years climbing the ranks at Princess Nourah bint Abdulrahman University before taking the helm here in November 2023. It traces the campus's own short history too, stitched together from pieces of two other universities in 2003 and grown from under eight thousand students to more than sixty thousand across twenty-eight colleges. Walk the grounds and notice how little announces any of it, no plaque, no ceremony, just the ordinary churn between lecture halls.
