On Campus This Week
Ifrane is a quiet and temperate place and when students feel it
is a little too quiet, the SAO is there to keep them busy. ”On
Campus This Week” is a weekly schedule of campus activities
and events.

Some of the events that are included therein are:
Karaoke:
A fun event for all involved! This event is held once or twice per
semester, allowing students to demonstrate their singing talent
- or lack thereof…
Movies:
A selection of various films is shown every week, either on the large
screen in the Auditorium in building 4 or broadcast to residence
halls. Residents either watch them in student centers in a large
group or on their individual TV’s. These broadcasts are referred
to as Room Run Nights.
Music:
Musical events are a regular feature of AUI life, no matter what
kind of music you might prefer. Music of all sorts is offered;
from Mozart and Classical Moroccan music to Abdelhadi Bekhiat,
Nass El Ghiwane, Abderahim Souiri, or gnawa, pop, rock or jazz...
Open Mike Nights:
Open Mike Night is an event where students are free to be with music
and a microphone. Whether it be singing, poetry reading, performing
skits, telling jokes or anything else the student can think of,
the mike belongs to the performers.
Parties:
Professional DJs are hired for rockin’ campus parties. Often
held in the open-air, the music usually starts at around 9 and the
action really starts around 11 p.m. or midnight. The parties go on
till the wee hours of the morning. It’s fun for all!
Quiz Show Nights:
Students compete in trivia games in front of a live audience in one
of the auditoriums on Quiz Show Nights. Teams participate in several
selection rounds before competing in the finals. It’s a great
time for students to demonstrate their intellectual abilities,
while having fun and listening to good music provided by Radio
Station AUI.
Sports Competitions:
Sports events are some of the most popular activities on campus!
AUI competes with teams from other university and masses of students,
faculty and staff gather in the indoor gymnasium to cheer on the
teams. It’s a great ambiance for all!
Special Events:
The SAO also organizes special events during the course of the semester
to accommodate the desires of everyone. These include theme parties
and events like Achoura, Halloween, Poetry Nights and more! We
are open to new, fresh and innovative ideas, too!
Talent Shows:
Every semester AUI students demonstrate their personal or group skills
and talents at the AUI Talent Show, which takes place in the main
auditorium. This is definitely one of the top and most popular
events of the semester! Make sure you don’t miss it!!
Fun Runs:
Each Spring semester, Hand in Hand Association organizes this great
annual event. World-famous athletes like Hicham El Gerrouj, Nawal
El Moutawakkil and Khalid Sekkah have taken part! The goal is to
raise funds during this event through participant sponsorship forms.
So, not only is everyone having fun, but the needy also receive
a great benefit.
AUI Fairs:
Fairs are where students can either participate in numerous activities
and games, or just lounge in the sun and watch. Wheelbarrow races,
darts, mini-golf, turtle races, rabbit catching and soccer are
just a few of the activities available during the event!
Apparel Parties:
Come to a dress party all decked out in whatever the theme is. It
could be Halloween, pajama or formal night; be prepared for any
of these. It’s great fun to see everyone in a new look!
Exhibitions:
The SAO offers several exhibitions throughout the year including
paintings, Moroccan artisan crafts, photography and pottery. Students
are always supportive of the artists who continue to promote enthusiasm
for cultural events.
