Majors Fair at AUK

"Majors Fair" took place once again on AUK's campus yesterday, November 28. It was a perfect day to be outside. Food and drinks were provided by our new "Wildcats Diner" and prizes were to be won. A winning raffle ticket could reward a student anything from dinner coupons to airline tickets. Prizes were graciously provided by the following companies: Edo Restaurant, Four Points Sheraton Hotel, Marina Hotel, IKEA, Kuwait Scientific Center, JW Marriott Hotel, Lufthansa Airlines, Najd Travels, National Offset Company, Teshkeel Comics, and National Bank of Kuwait. AUK would like to thank all those companies for contributing to the success of the event.

All academic departments were represented by their faculty. Their individual tables provided brochures, leaflets, major declaration forms, and displayed videos and various publications. Faculty members of each department were available throughout the duration of the Fair to answer students' questions and offer insight about their respective fields.

It's important to note as well, that seven AUK students have formed a local chapter of a coalition called STAND (Students Taking Action Now: Darfur) which spans over 600 universities, colleges, and high schools. Those seven students gave a presentation in the Multipurpose Room during Majors Fair in an ambitious attempt to raise awareness of the situation in Darfur and to move other students to help out by donating to the cause. Best of luck to them in this noble cause!
