Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts in Qatar (VCUarts Qatar) in Education City held a special event to honour the students whose hard work and excellent academic skills earned them a place on the Dean’s List.
The families of the students were also in attendance for the special occasion as the students were awarded certificates honouring their outstanding academic achievements.
The Dean’s List recognises superior academic performance and only students with a Grade Point Average of 3.5 qualify to the list. Of the 107 outstanding Dean’s List students, 33 are from the Art Foundation programme, eight from the Painting and Printmaking programme, 13 from the Interior Design programme, 19 from the Graphic Design programme, seven from the Fashion Design programme and 27 from the Art History programme.
Amir Berbic, dean of VCUarts Qatar, welcomed the students and their families, saying, “This is my first Dean’s List celebration as your new dean, and I am so pleased to be here to recognise and congratulate such an impressive group of young scholars. You are the best and the brightest among our talented and dedicated students. It is no small honour to be on the Dean’s List; as Dean’s List students, you set the standard for all other students.
“I also want to say congratulations to the parents and families of our Dean’s List students. Your encouragement and support, from their early years to today, have no doubt played an important role in their academic success. You can take a well-deserved pat on the back for a job well done!”
In her speech to the students, Dr. Valerie Jeremijenko, assistant dean of student affairs, said, “For our current sophomores who achieved this result as freshmen, we are so impressed by the start you have made to your academic career. We have high hopes for all of you. For our new juniors who excelled in their sophomore year, your continued hard work and dedication is paying off. You will soon be entering the two most challenging years of your undergraduate studies, and we wish you all the best.”
