Presenting the students, Prof. Dominic Fenech, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, explained how the demanding criteria meant that only truly outstanding students could make it into the list. Noting that students were not competing with each other, but satisfying a set of objective criteria, he observed that the number of students qualified to join the List had grown over the years, which was an indication of the quality of the Faculty’s students. He also noted that the geographical distribution of the students’ addresses indicated that the best students did not necessarily come from the more reputedly prosperous areas.

Congratulating the students, Mr Charles Azzopardi presented monetary gifts to the students on behalf of Bank of Valletta. He expressed his satisfaction that the Bank had been sponsoring the Dean’s List since the beginning without interruption. He said that the Bank considered sponsorships like this to be part of its obligation to society, in particular where investing in education and excellence was concerned.
