Doha: Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar) in Education City, a Qatar Foundation partner university, held a special event to honour the students whose hard work and excellent academic skills earned them a place on the Dean’s List.

Amir Berbić, the Dean of VCUarts Qatar, welcomed the students and their families, saying, “You are the best and the brightest among our talented and dedicated students. It is no small honor to be on the Dean’s List - as Dean’s List students you are setting the standard for all other students. “As members of the Dean’s List, your names have become part of the history of VCUarts Qatar.
