The recipient for the Class of 2020 is Taha Ameen ur Rahman, who graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Mathamatics with a 4.00 GPA.
The President’s Cup is awarded to the graduating student with the highest grade point average. The recipient's name is engraved on the President’s Cup, along with the names of all previous award winners. The cup is kept on permanent display at the university.
"I am grateful for the many opportunities I received at AUS, which provided a platform to shape my professional life. The strong academic preparation that I received from the courses in both my majors (electrical engineering and mathematics) set a strong foundation for me, and inspired me to pursue research as a career. These research opportunities were instrumental in my admission to the graduate program at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, where I am currently pursuing my PhD in electrical engineering.
Aside from coursework, AUS provided me with a rich student-life experience: I am grateful to have served as president of the IEEE Student Chapter at AUS, as well as a peer advisor at the Academic Support Center. The experiences I had in these positions greatly influenced me - from instilling leadership qualities to being of service to the community.
I extend heartiest congratulations to the graduating batch on their wonderful achievement. I am sure that your strong preparation will serve you well in your careers, and I wish you the very best in all your endeavors."
Taha Ameen ur Rahman
The recipient for the Class of 2020 is Mariyam Siddiqi in recogition of her high academic achievement and siginificant contribution to student life at AUS.
The Chancellor’s Cup is awarded to the graduating student with the outstanding combination of academic excellence, general character and service to others. The recipient's name is engraved on the Chancellor’s Cup, along with the names of all previous award winners. The cup is kept on permanent display at the university.
"The university experience depends not just on the selected institution but majorly on what the individual makes of it. A year on from my last exam at AUS, I want to say I'm grateful. Grateful to every part of AUS that I was able to utilize: Career Services, Student Affairs, Student Leadership Program, Library, research labs, Sports Complex and all facilities. Grateful for the guidance and recognition. And if there's one message I could give as a 'Corona Graduate,' and the struggles, crisis and confusion that came with it, it would be to be grateful!
As an AUS graduate, I am grateful to now be working with Henkel as R&D Chemist in the Laundry Care Products Development.
Congratulations to the Class of Spring 2020. I urge us all to give back to AUS and future AUSers with the same passion and compassion that we were given! Let's pledge to dedicate a part of us and our being to this community that paved way for our achievements!"
Mariyam Siddiqi
