In a dazzling celebration of intellect, ambition, and global unity, His Highness Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum presided over the 28th commencement ceremony of the American University in Dubai (AUD)—and what a spectacular moment it was! With 375 graduates beaming with pride, hailing from 52 diverse nationalities, the event turned into a cultural mosaic of achievement, ambition, and academic brilliance.
The ceremony wasn’t just about diplomas; it was about dreams realized and futures ignited. Representing AUD’s six academic schools—from Business to Engineering, Architecture to Media—the graduates walked across the stage not only with degrees in hand but with the weight of global potential on their shoulders. Sheikh Mansoor’s presence underscored Dubai’s unwavering commitment to education as a cornerstone of progress and its belief in nurturing a generation that can lead across borders.
AUD’s campus has long served as a microcosm of Dubai’s own spirit: cosmopolitan, visionary, and brimming with possibility. The diverse graduate cohort is a testament to the city’s magnetic pull for talent and its world-class academic ecosystem. From aspiring entrepreneurs to future engineers, communicators to architects of tomorrow, each graduate is now a proud ambassador of both AUD and the UAE’s knowledge-driven future.
His Highness applauded the graduates’ perseverance, resilience, and multicultural harmony—qualities the world urgently needs. In a heartfelt message, he encouraged them to become global changemakers while carrying the values of unity, excellence, and innovation forward in their careers and communities.
This year’s ceremony wasn’t just a milestone—it was a message to the world: Dubai isn’t just educating students; it’s shaping the future. With the power of diversity and knowledge coming together under one academic banner, the 28th AUD graduation was nothing short of a symphony of cultures, a celebration of excellence, and a resounding cheer for what lies ahead.
So here’s to the Class of 2025—may your minds stay curious, your goals stay global, and your impact know no bounds! 🎉
