Literary Night

The Academic Success Center organized a cultural evening
on Thursday, May 16th, to discuss the book “The Distraction
Trap: How to Focus in a Digital World” by author Frances
Booth. The book discusses strategies for regaining focus
and managing time effectively in the face of endless digital
distractions. It is considered an essential guide for those
seeking a deeper understanding of how to regain control over
their digital lives, improve concentration and productivity,
and achieve a healthy balance between technology use and
maintaining mental and physical health. The seminar was
moderated by student Alia Al Mazrouei, and many students
shared their perspectives on the ideas presented in the
book, the extent to which they align with reality, and how
they could benefit from the author’s insights to improve
their academic and university performance.

Poetry Night

The ASC collaborated with the Arabic Department to host
a captivating event featuring poetry readings, discussions
about Arabic culture, and live oud music performances.
