It is aptly said that the quench to do something different drives the creation of trends for many to follow. 

The seeds to set one such trend in SP Jain, Dubai campus were sown in March 2016. What followed were a couple of meetings and endless efforts of the Corporate Relations Team and the students of Jan 2016 intake to materialise the first ever Inter-Corporate Table Tennis Tournament in SP Jain.

The morning of 15th April, 2016 witnessed some heated table tennis matches in the premises of SP Jain by the gurus of the corporate world. Teams from Dubai’s leading corporates like Agility Logistics, African + Eastern, Stanley Black & Decker, Danzas DHL, Al Tayer Group, Dunia Finance, Grenke, Network International, Aditya Birla Group and Emirates Money among others participated in the tournament. An enthusiastic students’ team from SP Jain also joined these teams.

The Grand Mosque in Abu Dhabi is widely acknowledged as one of the architectural marvels of the Middle East, featuring the world's largest carpet and third-largest chandelier. Dubai Jaguars, representing Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Buddhists, Christians and Moslems, headed there one Friday in late March  to experience its wonder and marvel at its exquisite beauty. 

The students reached at around 5 pm, after the throng of morning worshippers had left the mosque in peace. The ladies were soon approached by one of the staff, and taken to a place where they could rent abayas, to properly respect the strict Muslim dress code. Once inside, students were overwhelmed, awestruck by the mosque's grandeur and splendor

"It's always an honor to accompany students on trips like this, where they get to experience the best of other cultures first-hand," said Samantha Miles – Head of Student Life & Global Learning. "You can teach about the magnificence of a mosque. But nothing can beat the feeling of holiness as you step inside and draw that first breath of astonishment."

To end the hectic week, the BBA cohort decided to take on a fun-filled day in Wadi Adventure. Students were so excited to enjoy their Friday this way. The buses reached Wadi Adventure late in the morning. Upon arrival, the staff of the park divided the students into three groups so the students could start the day’s activities. There were three main activities to partake in by the students— White Water Rafting, Airpark/ Swing, Wave Pool and lunch at the Surf Cafe. Each group rotated from Airpark/ Swing and White Water Rafting. Everyone joined together to have a great buffet lunch at 1:00pm. The Wave Pool, on the other hand, was available anytime of the day and was used by the students during their free slot.
