The winner of the Valerie Farag Music Award 2023 is Farida Ashraf Montasser. This is a cash award conferred at commencement to an outstanding AUC graduating student with a major or minor in Music Performance or Music Technology. This award was established to commemorate the memory of Valerie Farag, who joined the faculty in 1981. She was the first person to teach courses in music at AUC, and she continued to do so for the next three decades. Her passion and dedication were instrumental in establishing the Music program at AUC. The winner of the award is chosen by a committee of three faculty from the Department of the Arts on the basis of their musical and academic skills and contribution to the Music program and other art-related student activities.

During the winter semester, AUC Libraries and HUSS collaborated to digitize our collection of paintings by Margo Veillon (1907-2003). Many of Veillon’s paintings are hung in HUSS spaces and depict daily life in Egypt. Born in Cairo, the artist spent most of her artistic career capturing the landscape of both the streets and the country in Egypt. This collaboration came about as part of a larger grant-funded project to digitize Veillon's art.
