The Kuwait University celebrated the achievements of 224 exceptional students from various colleges for the 2023-2024 academic year in a ceremony held at Sabah Al-Salem University City, reinforcing its commitment to fostering academic excellence.
Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, Dr. Nader Al-Jalal, in his remarks described the annual ceremony as a vital tradition that motivates students to maintain excellence throughout their academic journey. He extended his heartfelt congratulations to the students and wished continued success for both them and their families.
“This distinguished ceremony reflects the university’s dedication to recognizing academic brilliance,” said Al-Jalal. “It is a joyful occasion to celebrate the diligence and perseverance of our students.”
Kuwait University President Dr. Dina Al-Mailem emphasized that the event serves as a tribute to the efforts and outstanding achievements of the students. She described them as models of hard work and commitment, reflecting the university’s academic strength and Kuwait’s bright image in the global knowledge arena.
“These students,” she said, “stand at the forefront of Kuwait University’s proud academic journey. They embody the aspirations of a nation that competes with the intellect and creativity of its youth.”

Dean of Student Affairs, Dr. Jassim Al-Hamdan, echoed similar sentiments, praising Kuwait University as a historic hub of knowledge, innovation, and thought. He highlighted its role in shaping a generation rooted in discipline, creativity, and patriotism expressed through action, not words.
“True academic excellence is the outcome of dedication and intellectual distinction,” Al-Hamdan stated. “You, our students, represent the hope and future of Kuwait.”
He reminded students that excellence gains even greater value when combined with humility, ethics, and a human touch. “Society advances not only through knowledge but through scholars who lead with values and inspire others,” he said. He urged them to remain steadfast in their pursuit of knowledge, as they are the future architects of a prosperous Kuwait.
The event served not only as a celebration of academic accomplishments but also as a reaffirmation of the university’s mission to instill purpose, responsibility, and national pride in the minds of its graduates.
