IEP Director says goodbye to AUK

Margaret Combs, founding Director of the Intensive English Program (IEP) at the American University of Kuwait (AUK), is leaving the institution for another opportunity. Ms. Combs has been at AUK since the beginning and has served the institution tirelessly, and with integrity. She laid the foundation of a solid program in Intensive English, recruited qualified and talented faculty, established and put into place policies and procedures. Her leadership of the IEP secured for the institution US accreditation from the Commission on Intensive English Program Accreditation, making AUK's IEP the only accredited Intensive English Program in Kuwait, and second in the region. Her commitment, hard work, and dedication will always remain an intrinsic and fundamental part of AUK's history. 

"There won't be a day in my life that I'm not thinking about the American University of Kuwait and the contribution this institution has made in the region. It has been a great honor and an enormous pleasure to serve AUK for the past six years. I realize that I may never again face challenges of the same intensity, nor enjoy the exhilaration of working with such outstanding people," she said.
