“AUC is my second home and it really made a difference in my life, so it made perfect sense to pay it back this way,” said Bahaa Hussein ’86, who named five bricks for himself, his wife and three daughters, one of whom is an AUC student. “I want my children –– when they walk around AUC –– to be proud that they have a contribution in their name, which will strengthen their connection to the University.”

 

Nawal El Fiqi and her husband Mohamed El Zayat ’03 both named bricks on the Memory Wall Grove. “On the old campus,” said El Fiqi, “I always liked how the chairs in Ewart Hall carry the names of contributors to the University; that’s why I was really excited about the idea of naming a brick on the new campus,” said El Fiqi. “Walking around the new campus, I realize that almost everything is named. It is a nice thing to see your contribution in actual form. I am so happy and proud that I’m now a permanent part of my AUC.”
