Students celebrate the completion of the premedical program
April, 2013
Dalal Hussain, Sarah Kanbour, Razan Al-Marri and Amina Bougaila
celebrate their achievement.
Family, friends, faculty and staff all gathered together to celebrate the completion ceremony of WCMC-Q’s premedical program.
In all, 41 students have completed the rigorous two-year program which has seen them study the sciences, English and mathematics through lectures, laboratory sessions and problem-based learning exercises.
At an event on April 25, they were congratulated by faculty members and received certificates marking their achievement.
Dr. Marco Ameduri, associate dean for premedical education, thanked the students’ families for their continued support and spoke of the pleasure that is felt in the college at the students’ success.
He said: "To the students I say that the faculty and I are very proud of your achievements and so are your families."
The keynote speech was given by Dr. Ian Miller, lecturer of English writing, whose eclectic speech veered from despair in the forests of Oregon to Star Wars to mythologist Joseph Campbell; the thread throughout being for the students to stay true to themselves and to say “yes” to life and the challenges they will face.
Student speaker Moaz Abdelrehim’s tongue-in-cheek speech drew laughs from his peers as he detailed the hard work and long nights of studying that is expected from students on the premedical program.
But he added: We’ve been given the gift of a world-class education so it is our duty to serve our community and share our assets.”
