 | | It was a moment that fulfilled a dream of the college’s founder, HH Princess Effat al-Thunayyan, whose husband, the late King Faisal ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz, ruled the country from 1964 until 1975. |
 | | Dean Haifa Jamal al-Lail, who moved to Effat from her dean’s chair at Jiddah’s King ‘Abd al-‘Aziz University, earned her bachelor’s in business administration at King ‘Abd al-‘Aziz, followed by a master’s and a doctorate in public policy from the University of Southern California. |
 | | Prince Faisal made a courtesy call on the two ladies and, as the story is told by one of Effat’s five sons, Prince Turki Al-Faisal, former ambassador from Saudi Arabia to the us, “there was an immediate rapport between them, and he fell in love with her.” They were married soon afterward. |
