H.E Ali Ibrahim Al-Naimi received the first doctorate honoris causa conferred by KAUST and was hooded by President Tony F Chan during the December 2018 Commencement Ceremony. The degree was awarded in the Energy Resources and Petroleum Engineering Program and recognizes Dr. Al-Naimi's extraordinary contributions to the field. This is a milestone event for KAUST’s newest program and sets a particularly high role model for our upcoming graduates.
