We would like to congratulate all of our Excellent Scholars and Student Ambassadors who were recognised at today’s awards ceremony.

Excellent Scholars recipients are selected based on their overall performance in their courses in the previous study block.

Our Excellent Scholars for Block 2 are Yu Ma, Suwanna Raichusri, Amit Dicholkar, Merlyn Gonzales Cadion, Rong Wang, Yun Tang, Hetaswi Mukesh Patel, Sau Yan Kwong, Rahul Hiteshkumar Patel, Aleksandr Taran, Juan Carlo Crispino, and Tao Xu.

At today’s ceremony we also thanked our Student Ambassadors who have recently graduated.

They are Arief Setyadi, Togzhan Lambekova, Pulkit Jain, Ericka Dsouza, Leo Daniel Girkar, Nupoor Dhurandhar, and Daria Gorbunova.

Ambassadors commit around 30 to 40 hours per year to organising and participating in events, and attending monthly ambassador meetings.

They welcome new students, help build the OPAIC community, answer student questions and provide support to students and staff. They act as the voice of the student community.  

We had 23 students and staff at today’s ceremony, which we held online to ensure all of our award recipients could attend.

Deputy Chief Executive Gagan Sachdeva congratulated students for their efforts.

He said Covid-19 had shown that the world was changing rapidly and needed bright minds to solve problems in new ways.

He said all of today’s award recipients had demonstrated capabilities we need in today’s world.
