The academic achievements of 24 students were recognized with their induction onto the Dean’s Honors List at a ceremony held at Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s Student Center.
Students who posted a GPA of 3.75 or higher in the Spring 2014 term made it onto the honors list of Dr. Javaid Sheikh, Dean of WCMC-Q.
Dr. Sheikh presented the awards and congratulated the students on their impressive academic achievements, encouraging them to continue to strive for excellence.
Dr. Sheikh said: “I am delighted to applaud the exceptional performance of these students as they are recognized for this significant academic honor. Inauguration onto the Dean’s Honors List reflects the high caliber of WCMC-Q’s student body and it has become a tradition that is firmly entrenched in the college.
“These young men and women have demonstrated an outstanding level of work to achieve this honor and their commitment and talent is inspiring to all at WCMC-Q. We are proud to support them and help them achieve their undoubtedly remarkable potential.”
Two Dean’s Honors Lists are published in each academic year to record the achievements of students in the fall and spring semesters, an initiative that began with the fall 2011 semester.
The audience was also addressed by alumnus Dr. Nigel Pereira, of WCMC-Q’s Class of 2010, who is undertaking fellowship training in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the world-renowned Ronald O. Perelman and Claudia Cohen Center for Reproductive Medicine at WCMC in New York.
Dr. Pereira advised the students that as well as studying at college, they also had to develop independent learning habits so as to remain highly skilled once their formal education was over.
The students inducted to the Dean’s Honors List for the spring 2014 semester are: Youmna Abdelghany, Hawra Al Lawati, Nora AlFakhri, Fatima Al-Maadid, Said Alnajjar, Imen Becetti, Tina Bharani, Farah Bshesh, Nada Darwish, Syeda Razia Haider, Irfan Helmy, Merna Hussien, Mu Ji Hwang, Sahar Abida, Mahadik, Safa Mahgoub, Faryal Malick, Suresh Menik Arachchige, Adham Musthak, Basem Oraby, Yahya Othman, George Sadek, Tarek Taha, Noor Tarifi, and Nahel Tunio.
