AUK announces President’s Honor Roll and Dean’s Honor list

The American University of Kuwait held its semi-annual President’s Honor Roll and Dean’s Honor List ceremony to celebrate the accomplishments of top student achievers. The ceremony was held in the AUK Auditorium, where AUK President and college deans presented students with awards for their achievements in different categories. The event was attended by parents, faculty members, university staff and students.

The ceremony commenced with opening remarks from President Sullivan, in which he expressed his pride in celebrating the academic achievements of AUK’s top students, “The University is proud of ALL of our students, for what they have achieved and for what they will do in the future. Tonight, however, we are honoring students for particularly high academic accomplishments. Tonight, we applaud 121 students for their academic excellence, and it gives us a great sense of pride to recognize every one of them. In a few years, or maybe months, this group of students will start their careers or pursue graduate studies. I am sure they will continue to be the top in any walks of life because they genuinely want to make a difference. Congratulations to all.” Top achieving students from the different categories were called to accept their awards from President Sullivan and the college deans.

26 students were awarded a place on the President’s Honor Roll by the President, a high distinction exclusively awarded to those who maintained a 4.0 GPA for the term, while 121 students were recognized for achieving the Dean’s Honor List; a distinction awarded by the College Deans to students who maintained a minimum GPA of 3.7. Dr Ali Charara, Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS), and Dr Ralph Palliam, Dean of the College of Business & Economics (CBE) presented the recipients with their awards.
