Achievement Academy holds awards ceremony

To recognize the achievements of students at the AUS Achievement Academy Bridge Program (AABP), an award ceremony was held on May 13. The Spring 2019 award ceremony recognized almost 60 students who made significant progress in their courses and increased their language proficiency to a level suitable for study in university-level courses taught in English. The ceremony also awarded students who had shown improvement in their personal, academic and study skills.

Also recognized were students who made significant progress in their courses during their studies in the Achievement Academy Bridge Program and those who served as role models for their peers.

Speaking about the ceremony, Faris al Ali, the winner of the Director's Award, and Sports Coordinator in the AABP Club, said:

"This award is a result of the students’ hard work at the beginning of the semester; and the award ceremony is not the end of our journey, but just the beginning."

Also present were representatives from the Achieve 3000, the British Council and Amideast, as well as AUS officials and faculty members who have impacted the AABP students in one way or another.

The AABP improves student readiness for enrollment into their majors and for the rigors of an academic program of study in higher education. In addition to helping students improve their English language skills, the program also helps students prepare for university math and physics courses, and enhances students' personal, academic and study skills to maximize the likelihood of success in their university experience.
