On Thursday, May 11, 2017 Notre Dame University – Shouf Campus celebrated its academically outstanding students in the presence of the deans, faculty members, administrators, parents and classmates.
Father Hanna Tayar, Director of NDU-SC, spoke of excellence emphasizing that it results from the right attitude, behavior and training to become a habit. “We are very proud of you,” Fr. Tayar said to the students, “we are proud of your habit for excellence - your insistence on keeping us surprised and more importantly on surprising yourself with one accomplishment after the other.” Fr. Tayar congratulated the students’ parents, instructors and faculties, for they are vital partners in the students’ road to excellence.
Before a crowded conference room and amid roaring applause, the students were, then, presented with excellence awards in recognition of their academic achievements. Fr. Tayar, along with faculty deans and coordinators distributed the awards and congratulated the students.
The Deans’ List Ceremony concluded with a celebratory toast!
