Hi everyone!

  My name is TAHA MOUJANE, I was born in Meknes on 21th June. I grew up in Meknes and stayed there for 18 years. I have graduated from high school in 2013, I decided to come to AUI. AUI was my first choice because I always dreamed of being an engineer in management, and there is no other university in Morocco which have this option. Firstly, I took the Language Center classes, it was really easy for me, but at the end of the semester I had some complicated conflicts with my grammar's professor. So, I failed the course. Right now, I’m taking the class again and hoping to pass it this time. By the beginning of next semester, I will have earned 15 credits that will enable me to spend a summer abroad .I have several future plans that I am really struggling to achieve as soon as possible. Therefore, my short term goals are to get the intended GPA which would contribute in my long term success. By the time I’m as old as Mrs. Jordan I’ll have been a successful engineer I want to become.  Everyone has a dream that he or she wants to realize, and mine is to succeed more than my parents did, they also wish the same thing that's why they have sent me to this university. I actually said all I see important about myself, all of us must never forget that we must never give up.

Hello everyone,

My name is Chaimae Dyaz. I am 22 years old. I am from from Fez.                 

Since I graduated from high school, I have chosen to study at “EST” which is Ecole Supérieure de Technologie in Fez. After two years of hard studies, I got my degree in Commerce and Communication. Then, I went to the Faculty of economy in order to study for my bachelor and I got my professional bachelor in International Management and Marketing. Within the past year, I have decided to work in a family business in order to be more responsible in the world of business and management. Also, working in a firm was an opportunity to apply all the skills that I have learnt during my academic career. At the end of last year, I had made a very important decision. I decided to go for a new challenge and I registered in a MBA at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane. Last semester was my first semester at AUI and I recognized that everything is different here. First, teachers are both highly qualified and very strict. Second, the American system is more interesting in terms of the course programs, projects, midterms, and attendance. In my first semester here, I was a student at the language center. Right now, I am left with one language course, and I had four foundation courses. This summer, I will study two more foundation courses. And the next fall, I am planning to finish my foundations and I will begin my core courses of my MBA program. At the summer of next year, I am going for an exchange abroad to one of this universities: George Washington University or Stockholm University. Yet, all depends on my GPA. By the time I’m as old as Mrs. Jordan, I will be working in my own business or maybe I will be studying for another master abroad.  How about you? What are you doing? And what are your goals and plans ?        

Hi everyone!

  I am sarah MOUADEN, I was born in Agadir on 24^th April 1989. Since I have graduated from high school in 2007, I decided to be an engineer in management. Before I came to AUI, I did a lot of things. First, I did EMSI and I got a degree in computer science. In 2008 I got a Selectividad, which is a Spanish baccalaureate degree. In 2012  I got my degree in IT & Management of companies. Then, I did several and various internships : bank "Groupe Crédit Agricole Maroc", ONICL "National Bureau of cereals and legumes", SQLI where I worked with I got an ISO certificate. After that, I developed information and management system for Mohamed First University in Oujda. For the past year I got an existing experience in DAPS in Rabat. It was my first time that I discovered the insurance system in Morocco and how it is work. Right now I am an MBA student. I speak Arabic, Berber, French, Spanish and English. I play judo since I was 5 years old. I was Moroccan champion for many times, and I was champion of Africa for  less than 50 kg. Besides of Judo, I like music, dancing, writing and reading too. For the past semester, I participated with "the service-learning program”. It was an amazing experience. So far this semester, I am studying one foundation course which is microeconomics. This summer I am planning to take summer classes to finish all the foundation courses. By this time next year I will be able to take graduate courses. By the time I am as older as Mrs. Jordan I will be working for an international firm or maybe I will be continuing my studies abroad (for a PhD).By this time tomorrow, I will be with my friends. What about you? Who you are? What your future plans are?

Hello world!

And hello GAC 1002 students,

Since today you will be telling me, our classmates, and whoever else stumbles upon our blog about yourself, I figured I would do the same.

You guys know me as Mrs. Jordan but my full name is Kasey Lynn Jordan. I was born in Tucson, Arizona (in the US), but I grew up in Sacramento, California. I have a large family that I love and miss very much; they all reside in the US except for a bother that lives in Germany.

Since I graduated from high school, I have loved traveling and being immersed in different cultures. Right after I graduated from high school I lived in Belgium for a year. I also spent a semester in Paris during my undergraduate studies. I have a BA in International Business from Westminster College in Salt Lake City, Utah and a Master's in Teaching Foreign Language from the Monterey Institute of International Studies in Monterey, California. 

So far my life in Ifrane has been dominated by work and traveling. Fortunately I love teaching, and I especially love the wonderful students I had last semester and the ones I have now. Another fortunate aspect of working here is the fact that teachers get breaks too. So over the winter break I was able to go on an amazing trip with my husband, Mr. Jordan. Below is a picture of me in the Scottish Highlands.

Within the past year Mr. Jordan and I have been in over 7 countries together and we're hoping by this time next year to add a few more to the list. Right now I am happy with the wonderful students I have in my classes, and I am so happy it's snowing today! Snow is much prettier than rain. Very soon spring will be upon us and I know I will miss the cold winter days. This summer I hope to return to the US to see family and possibly teach at a summer camp. We shall see!
