Notre Dame University-Shouf Campus celebrated its Dean’s List Ceremony on May 31, 2016. The ceremony, attended by deans, faculty members, and administrators along with students’ family and friends, was in recognition of the students’ hard work and academic excellence.
Father Hanna Tayar, Director of NDU-SC, welcomed the attendees and expressed pride in the students’ outstanding academic performance. He emphasized that academic excellence comes from students’ sense of responsibility and passion for learning; these are the students that have unwavering principles and do not accept mediocrity. “I am proud of you and of your accomplishments,” Fr. Tayar said, “I am proud you are NDUers – and that together- with minds and hearts like yours we can rebuild our country and make the world a better place.”
The floor was then given to faculty deans who reiterated their sense of pride in the students and urged them to persevere with excellence in all they do.
It was then time for certificate distribution. The dean of every respective faculty, along with Fr. Tayar, handed out the certificates to the students amid much cheer and applause. The ceremony ended with the attendees celebrating the success of the high achievers with a toast.
