Qaiwan Group of Companies is one out of many other group of companies, that provides financial support for the students and needy ones.

Qaiwan has helped many AUIS students financially so far. Qaiwan has offered a large fair amount of money for those AUIS students who can’t afford their tuition and other fees.

AUIS Will be Offering another Minor

by The Third Eye

 The Middle East Studies minor will be offered soon based at AUIS. The most interesting part of that minor will be IST 3XX/HIS 301 Special Topics in Islamic Thought.  This is a ‘special topics’ course which students could take again as long as the topic as specified in the title AND as recorded and preserved in the registrar’s office was different.  In that way, different instructors could teach topics of their own interest, and it would provide students the opportunity to study a variety of topics.

Five Days in the Dead Sea...!

By Mahdi Kurdi

It was March 1st when I headed to the Erbil International Airport to fly to Jordan to attend a conference there. The Middle East Partnership Initiative Alumni Professional Conference was held in the Marriott Hotel in the Dead Sea in Jordan from March 1st, to march 5th.  The conference lasted for five days. The event was a reunion for about 90 students in the Middle East and North African countries who participated in the MEPI Undergraduate Leadership program in the U.S. during the summer 2011.

Shakespeare Iraq?

That's right. This project involves a group of Iraqi college students at the American University of Iraq, Sulaimani who formed a Shakespearean company and are now invited to the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. This was not what anyone had in mind at first. What began as an appreciation-type club was quickly overrun by the students' passion for doing a live performance. Last June, they did it -- an English-language Shakespeare production, not on a campus or Green Zone, but in a public theater -- the first of its kind ever in the country.

Soon afterwards, I did a radio interview on Bob Scheer's Truthdigg radio. An Oregon Shakespeare Festival subscriber was listening, and before we knew it, we were offered a one-week slot OSF's Green Show.

What If We Think for Solutions for a Second?

I looked over the AUIS's student's facebook pages, groups, and profiles.  The words, "Well, paying for printing sounds logical. Yet, what's ahead then..?" were posted by a student. "Even breathing costs money at AUIS; however, its aim is not making money." stated another one. "Paying for printing papers!!!toooooooooo fffffffuuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyy." wrote by another student. I read through each comment that was posted by other students beside of hundreds of the so-called "likes" to each of those statements. All I noticed was complaining and criticizing AUIS  for providing such policies.

Thank You All....!

I don't know how to start. I am experiencing the best moments in my life. Thus, I feel obligated to thank those who have provided me such moments. I don't know who I should put in the list of those who I MUST say thank you first. However, you all have the same value for me. Those whose names are in the bottom of my list are as much important as those who are first mentioned in the list. I thank you all.

I feel so obligate to thank all the wonderful people at AUIS. My professors, my classmates, and every single member of AUIS who challenged me and encouraged me to achieve anything so far and to be in the position where I am now. I thank you all in deep of my heart. It is all because of your encouragement that has provided me such achievements so far. I can't put all the words and gratefulness I have in my heart and mind right now. All I would like to say is that I am so grateful toward all the support you have provided me so far, I am thankful toward it, and  I will be grateful toward it forever. Thanks again. I owe you a lot!
