The achievements of some 159 distinguished Qatar University students were honoured in a ceremony held at Katara recently. A total of 150 students were honoured for their outstanding academic performance, and 11 of them received an Award of Excellence, each having scored a GPA of 3.94 or more. A further nine students were congratulated on their exemplary non-academic achievements.
Qatar University President Prof. Sheikha Abdulla Al Misnad said: “These students’ outstanding achievements, both academically and in other fields, are testament to the sheer dedication of themselves, their families and everyone at QU to achieving nothing short of their very best. We are delighted that again, this year, we have such a strong cohort of well-rounded and motivated students going out into the world, determined to be successful leaders in the future.”
The QU Vice-President for Student Affairs, Dr Omar Al Ansari, said: “Everyone at QU is very proud of our distinguished students, whose hard work over these last years has really paid off. Many congratulations to them all and they have our very best wishes as they enter the labour market, embodying the best of a QU education.”
Lolwa Al Medadi, International Affairs student at College of Arts & Sciences, said: “The main obstacle I faced at the beginning of my academic life was adapting to using English language, especially because I studied only Arabic language in high school. However, I overcame this problem through reading books. I encourage all students to be well-organized and a good time-manager from the very beginning of their academic journey.”
