On February 27, 2025, the school celebrated the Fall 2024 Recognition of Excellence Ceremony (REC), honoring the hard work, resilience and commitment of faculty, staff, alumni and the top 10 percent of the graduating class of the Fall 2024 semester.

What makes the Onsi Sawiris School of Business a truly remarkable community is its commitment to uplift its members from faculty, staff, students and alumni. On February 27, 2025, the school celebrated the Fall 2024 Recognition of Excellence Ceremony (REC), honoring the hard work, resilience and commitment of faculty, staff, alumni and the top 10 percent of the graduating class of the Fall 2024 semester.

Honoring Excellence

Held in Moataz Al Alfi Hall at The American University in Cairo, REC welcomed over 200 attendees, including faculty, staff, students, alumni, parents and friends of the school. During the event, 29 students from the graduating class of Fall 2024 and six faculty, staff and alumni were recognized for their exceptional contributions and accomplishments.

The awards reflect the school’s unwavering commitment to excellence and its mission to cultivate leaders who drive meaningful change.

“With over 12,000 alumni, our focus remains on creating impact—through students who go out into the world and make a difference in society,” said Dean Sherif Kamel, highlighting the importance of creating a community of leaders capable of making a lasting impact.

An Inspiration for the Future

The Recognition of Excellence Ceremony is not only a celebration of present successes but also an opportunity to inspire the future. The event brought together notable alumni, faculty and students, offering a platform to share wisdom, guidance, encouragement and hope for the next generation of leaders.

“Your attitude and behavior matter far more than the knowledge you currently have. As you acquire knowledge, be sure to share it and pass it on—because your attitude ultimately shapes your future,” emphasized Ayman Soliman, managing partner at Morpho Investments and recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award.

The Fall 2024 REC celebrated yet another milestone in the legacy of the Onsi Sawiris School of Business. This was the first honors ceremony held after the naming of the school and marked the beginning of a new chapter of accomplishments. 

As the school continues to nurture a culture of excellence, we extend our congratulations to all the awardees of Fall 2024 REC and look forward to celebrating future successes.
