Over 200 American University of Sharjah (AUS) alumni from across the UAE attended the Annual AUS Alumni Iftar held on June 13, 2017 in the Rotunda of the university's Main Building. The special event was attended by Dr. Leland Blank, Interim Provost; Charles Diab, Executive Director of Advancement and Alumni Affairs; Kevin Mitchell, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Affairs and Instruction, other senior university officials and a delegation from Medcare.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Blank welcomed the alumni and said, "This special month provides us with an opportunity to get together and rekindle old associations. We, at AUS, always look forward to welcoming our alumni back on campus."

"As you progress and succeed in your careers, I encourage you to help future AUS students by providing your alma mater with support. I wish you all a peaceful and blessed Ramadan," added Dr. Blank.

The Iftar was organized by the Office of Alumni and Advancement Affairs (OAAA).
