The academic achievements of 24 students from Weill Cornell Medical College in Qatar (WCMC-Q) were recognised with their induction onto the Dean’s Honours List at a ceremony held at Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s Student Centre.

Students who posted a GPA of 3.75 or higher in the Spring 2014 term made it to the honours list. 

Dr Javaid Sheikh, dean of WCMC-Q, presented the awards and congratulated the students on their impressive academic achievements, encouraging them to continue to strive for excellence.

“I am delighted to applaud the exceptional performance of these students as they are recognised for this significant academic honour. Inauguration onto the Dean’s Honours List reflects the high calibre of WCMC-Q’s student body and it has become a tradition that is firmly entrenched in the college,” Dr Sheikh said.

Two Dean’s Honours 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 Centre for Reproductive Medicine at WCMC in New York.

The students inducted to the Dean’s Honors List for the spring 2014 semester are Youmna Abdelghany, Hawra al- Lawati, Nora al-Fakhri, 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.
