Her Excellency Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, President of American University of Sharjah, opened the Alumni Reunion Dinner by reflecting on how the university community had inspired her throughout her first year at the helm.

"I see alumni, students, faculty, partners and friends coming together, united in diversity and a shared commitment to build a better future for others, especially the underprivileged," she told the alumni gathered at the on-campus event.

Sheikha Bodour then laid out her vision for the university, saying: "We have a clear and ambitious roadmap for the future, and it’s to stand at the pinnacle of higher education in the world. We are channeling efforts into pioneering research and innovations that extend the reach of our reputation and influence. The impact of AUS is already clear, from the global recognition of our faculty to ground-breaking advancements in cancer research and more. We are on a path that will see AUS become ever more impactful and relevant internationally over the next 25 years."

Organized by the Office of Advancement and Alumni Affairs (OAAA), the AUS Alumni Reunion Dinner saw 1,500 alumni in attendance. The special occasion celebrated the university’s collective accomplishments, strengthening connections that define its cohesive community. With the theme, “Together in Advancement, Stronger in Solidarity," OAAA introduced the AUS Alumni Solidarity Fund--part of the newly established AUS Alumni Annual Fund--to support and empower bright students facing social changes or emergencies within their communities, helping them receive quality education at AUS. The proceeds from the fund this year will go towards supporting outstanding students from Palestine with a special focus on those facing financial difficulties in Gaza.
