The Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Kelaniyamarked a significant milestone with the launch of its inaugural Dean’s List Award Ceremony, held on May 30, 2025, at the Faculty Board Room. The event was organized by the Faculty Quality Assurance Cell (QAC) to honor and celebrate academic excellence among its student body.

The prestigious Dean’s List recognizes students who have demonstrated exceptional academic performance throughout the academic year. A total of 136 students from across the faculty’s departments were awarded for their outstanding achievements.

The ceremony was graced by the presence of Professor M. M, Gunatilake, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences; Heads of Departments; members of the Faculty QAC Committee; and students. Delivering the keynote address, the Dean emphasized the importance of celebrating academic merit, noting that “the Dean’s List is more than a certificate—it's a symbol of hard work, consistency, and academic excellence.”

This new initiative reflects the Faculty’s ongoing commitment to fostering a culture of quality, achievement, and student-centered education. By institutionalizing the Dean’s List, the Faculty of Social Sciences aims to inspire and motivate students to pursue excellence in their academic journeys.

The Dean’s List Award Ceremony will be held annually, serving as a cornerstone of recognition within the Faculty’s academic calendar.
