We can’t contain our excitement for all of the students going back to campus this fall! While we’ve learned invaluable lessons from how technology has helped us stay on task when it comes to work and studies, there’s nothing quite like a real, in-person campus experience. The coffee with friends between classes, as well as the amazing life experiences which students only learn when they are on campus. This is why we were delighted to learn that The American University of Kuwait (AUK) held a series of tours to introduce new students to the campus in preparation to welcoming them back into the University. The tours were held over one week which allowed the 200 student participants to be divided into small groups each day to comply with safety measures.
Guided by a University staff member, the students visited some of the campus facilities including the newly opened building that houses classrooms, theater, media studio, and restaurant, followed by a visit to the offices of admissions and registrar where respective staff talked to the students about their services. The students then visited the AUK Library where a librarian similarly guided them through the facility. All of these visits will prepare them for their upcoming academic journey, which will surely be super exciting as well as enlightening.
The groups were also taken to see the liberal arts and sciences buildings that house more classrooms and laboratories, in addition to the campus diner and auditorium. Concluding the tour with the University’s recreational facilities, the groups were shown the Student Center Building where they could enjoy the campus gyms and student lounge, perfect for hanging out in between classes!
AUK has already begun the fall semester on the 26th of September online, but students will be back to campus for in-person learning starting this month. We wish all of the new and returning students the best of luck with their new academic year, and we hope that they make the most out of in-person learning and being back on campus!
The American University of Kuwait (AUK) is an independent, private, equal opportunity, and coeducational liberal arts institution of higher education. The educational, cultural and administrative structure, methods and standards of AUK are based on the American model of higher learning.
