September 9th, 2016 the Knowledge Day took place at the American University of Central Asia (AUCA). Andrew Wachtel, AUCA president awarded the best students for their academic excellence. The students who had made the President’s List and the Dean’s List took the certificates during the ceremony.
“Every year, somehow, there are more of you, who make the President’s List. This year we have 23, which is the largest number ever. When I first came to AUCA, there were six or seven students on the list. To make sure the University was not going crazy, I did a bit of a study to find out whether grade inflation at AUCA was behind the growing President’s List, but we discovered, in fact, there is not a lot of grade inflation at AUCA. Our best students are getting better!” said President Wachtel, “I congratulate you—the best students!”
President Wachtel also congratulated the laureates of “Stream,” AUCA’s vocal competition, who performed for the audience after the awards ceremony.
“I felt really awesome after receiving the President's List. I studied hard to have a good GPA and as a result was granted with such an honor. Thanks to my university for motivating students to study hard!” said Lazizjon Abdulazizov, a senior in the Liberal Arts and Sciences Department.
“I always like to set great goals, such as Double Majoring, and then enjoying the result. I believe that everything is possible, and with enough motivation, you can do everything, far beyond making the Dean’s List,” said Arslan Gabdulkhakov, a junior in the Psychology Department.
