Inductee Shaikh said, “Being recognized for academic excellence and being a member of this prestigious society is going to be an additional driving force behind my commitment to maintaining my GPA. I don’t see any turning back from now on. Sincere thanks to the Petroleum Engineering Program for always considering students’ needs and motivating them to give their best.”
