The academic achievements of 24 students from Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q) were recognised 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 honours 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 honour. Inauguration onto the Dean’s Honors List reflects the high calibre 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 honour 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.
