Bon Voyage, Class of 2012

By Jaimee Haddad

Four years of due diligence paid off last night for the 36 graduates of Northwestern University in Qatar’s Class of 2012 as they adjusted their purple gowns, pinned up their caps, aligned the tassels, took a few last photos and then proceeded into the theatre.

The first graduating class at NU-Q began their journey as guinea pigs, but they finished as wildcats.

The ceremony was held at the Qatar National Convention Centre Theatre for an audience of approximately 500.

As with all Northwestern events, was outfitted in the most stunning shades of purple. Just look at this place. This is a purple dream,
