AUK Office of Alumni Affairs and Career Development (AACD) hosted its largest on-campus alumni reunion which saw over 700 graduates from the classes of 2006 to 2021. The reunion emanated nostalgia; reconnecting the University community and serving as a link between AUK’s past and present in an annual celebration filled with entertainment, socializing, and networking.
Attended by AUK faculty, staff, and president, Dr. Rawda Awwad, alumni had the opportunity to reconnect with the campus community and reminisce. AACD director, Abir Tannir gave a speech during the event where she expressed, “Let’s tread down memory lane to when you joined AUK and made amazing connections, relationships, and unforgettable memories. This was the place which helped shape your character and career. You can carry on with the memories and make new ones tonight.”
The entertainment for the evening featured live music by Rita Malek and Mario Helmy along with various activities rounded out with a raffle draw for a wide array of gifts. Enjoying the vibrant atmosphere, alumnus Nawaf Najia (Class of ‘07) said, “Thank you for the amazing event. What a great setup and management, and such a good turnout. I was very happy to be back after several years. And hopefully I will be attending many more alumni events.”
The reunion was fully organized and catered by alumni-owned businesses—organized by Eslam Mousa (Class of ’15) and Aliaa Jamal (Class of ’17) through their event-planning business EMiNDS; Ameen Al-Ahmad (Class of ‘07) catered the event’s beverages with Frullato Juice; and Kareem Abu Ghareeb (Class of ’10) provided complimentary giveaways.
