327 students (175 males and 152 females) were honoured for their outstanding performance in student life and activities.
The two-day ceremony was attended by QU President Dr Hassan Al Derham, QU Vice President for Student Affairs Dr Khalid Al Khanji, and QU Director of Student Services and Activities Abdulla Al Yafei, as well as QU officials, faculty, students and their families.
In his remarks, Dr Hassan Al Derham said: “I am proud of our students. QU has graduated numerous generations and leaders, many of whom participated in extra-curricular and volunteering activities during their journey at the university. This contributed to unlocking their potential and to heightening their skills and personalities in various areas. QU is keen to honor its outstanding students who took part in various extra-curricular activities throughout the academic year. The University is also planning to expand its infrastructure and facilities in order to promote its ex-curricular activities. Dr Khalid Al Khanji said: “Since its establishment, QU is keen to merge curricular activities with extra-curricular activities. This annual event aims to recognise students who made a positive impact on student life.”
