Together, We Can: Ajman University Charts a Bold Non-Profit Future at its 2025 Reunion Gala

Ajman University hosted its 2025 Reunion Gala under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Ammar bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, Crown Prince of Ajman, Chairman of Ajman Executive Council, and Chairman of Ajman University’s Board of Trustees. The event, held in the presence of His Excellency Dr. Sheikh Majid Bin Saeed Al Nuaimi, Chairman of the Ajman Ruler’s Court, brought together distinguished alumni, strategic partners, and friends of the University to celebrate shared achievements and reaffirm the institution’s mission-driven future as a private, non-profit university.

Themed “Together, We Can,” the gala reflected the University’s commitment to inclusiveness, excellence, innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility—values that mirror the broader aspirations of the UAE. One of the evening’s visual highlights was a mesmerizing laser show, which unveiled the pillars of the campaign and the University's future-focused vision in a truly dazzling display of light, music, and meaning.

In his welcoming address, Dr. Karim Seghir, Chancellor of Ajman University, stated:“This evening celebrates not only what we’ve achieved together, but what we are determined to accomplish moving forward. As a non-profit university, every contribution is reinvested directly into students, faculty, and society. We are building not just a university, but a movement for access, excellence, and a better tomorrow.”

Dr. Seghir further emphasized: “Together, we can expand opportunity. Together, we can light the path for those who will, in turn, light the way for others. And I am confident that together, we will.”

The University recently achieved major international recognition, ranking among the top 500 universities worldwide and securing the #1 position in the UAE for employer reputation according to the 2025 QS World University Rankings. Ajman University also earned:

• #1 in the UAE in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence,
• #1 in Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, and
• #2 in Computer Science, Information Systems, and Mathematics.

These results mark AU’s rapid ascent in areas that define the future of work and knowledge economies.

A central moment of the gala was the Recognition Ceremony, in which the University honored a select group of partners and donors for their steadfast support and meaningful contributions. The awards were presented by H.E. Dr. Sheikh Majid Bin Saeed Al Nuaimi and Dr. Karim Seghir to the following entities, listed in alphabetical order: H.E.
