AUS honors 600 students for extracurricular achievements

More than 600 students at American University of Sharjah (AUS) were honored for their extracurricular achievements during the Annual Student Appreciation Award ceremony held May 2 at Al Jawaher Reception and Convention Centre in Sharjah.

Your presence today speaks of your committed engagement and accomplishments," said Dr. Al Shehhi, addressing the gathering.
