Twenty-four students have been honored for their academic success by being inducted onto the Dean’s Honors List.
The 24 are all pre-medical students at WCM-Q and were honored at a ceremony at Hamad Bin Khalifa Student Center at Education City. Each of the students achieved a 3.75 grade point average during the Spring term, meaning they could be inducted on to the honors list of Dr. Javaid Sheikh, dean of the college. In addition, six students from the college’s Foundation Program were also recognized for their academic work, having also achieved GPAs of 3.75 or more.
Congratulating all the students on their academic achievement, Dr. Sheikh said: “I am delighted to be here once again to applaud the hard work and dedication shown by all of you. Achieving an academic score of this caliber is no mean achievement and is testament to the quality of students enrolled at Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar.
“These young men and women have worked exceptionally hard and are an inspiration to all.”
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 and has since become a WCM-Q tradition.
The students inducted to the Dean’s Honors List for the spring 2015 semester were: Chandrakumaran Abivarma, Huda Alalami, Said Alnajjar, Fatema Al-Wahshi, Tina Bharani, Welathanthrige Botheju, Farah Bshesh, Nada Darwish, Syeda Razia Haider, Merna Hussien, Gi Eun Kim, Menatalla Mekhaimar, Suresh Menik Arachchige, Priyamvada Pillai, Haneen Qadourah, Ahmed Daniyaal Rasheed, Cleo Zarina Reyes, Sherin Sallam, Zaid Shahrori, Mohamed Soliman, Aya Tabbalat, Tarek Taha, Sharan Yadav and Aya Youssef.
The Foundation Program students recognized for their work were: Salma Al-Mohannadi, Moza Almohannadi, Fatima Al-Khayat, Ramez Bodair, Hissa Al-Hail and Fatima Al-Binali
