AUK Honors Students' Outstanding Scholastic Achievements

In recognition of AUK students' academic achievements for Spring 2012, a ceremony was held at the AUK Liberal Arts Auditorium where recipients of the President's Honor Roll and Dean's Honor List celebrated their success with faculty, staff and parents.

The ceremony, which took place earlier this month, started with an introductory word from AUK President, Dr. Winfred Thompson. The President congratulated students on their achievements and quoting Emily Dickinson's poem, "Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed."

The Ceremony honored 26 students for the high distinction, which placed them on the President's Honor Roll. Students in this category have managed to maintain a 4.0 Grade Point Average (GPA). The Dean's List featured 119 awardees, out of which 48 were awarded by Dr. Nizar Hamzeh, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, while 61 were awarded by Dr. Mohsen Bagnied, Department Chair of Marketing and Management. Students on the Dean's Honor List have earned a minimum of 3.7 GPA.

Dr. Bagnied expressed his admiration at the students' achievements, pointing out that with this number of outstanding students in the College of Business and Economics, "We got the best business school in Kuwait."

In his closing remarks, President Thompson congratulated the students again and urged them to continue building their academic success.
