October 23, 2023
Webster University President Julian Z. Schuster was recently presented with two national
awards during his time in the Republic of Uzbekistan: the “Excellence in Higher Education”
award, and the “Healthcare Excellence” award.
The "Excellence in Higher Education" award is bestowed on individuals who have made
remarkable contributions within the field of higher education. The recipient of this
award is recognized for their work, which aligns with the national goals and aspirations
of the Republic of Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Innovation.
Ibrokhim Abdurakhmonov, Uzbekistan’s minister of higher education, science, and innovations,
expressed his gratitude and appreciation to Webster University and Schuster for continued
support and consistent efforts to benefit the current and next generation of Uzbekistan
– specifically through the launch of Webster’s new educational programs in healthcare at Webster University Tashkent.
During a medical forum which took place during the Uzbekistan-USA first healthcare week, Schuster was presented the "Healthcare Excellence of the Republic of Uzbekistan"
badge by Amrillo Inoyatov, minister of health of the Republic of Uzbekistan. This
award recognizes Schuster’s exceptional contributions to healthcare education and global healthcare initiatives.
Schuster was also awarded an Honorary Professorship from the Tashkent Medical Academy.
This recognition symbolizes the significant contributions to the field of healthcare
education in the Republic of Uzbekistan and reflects a shared commitment to advancing medical knowledge and research.
“I am honored to be recognized as the recipient of two national awards from the Republic
of Uzbekistan, and grateful to receive the distinction of honorary professorship from
the Tashkent Medical Academy,” said Schuster. “Webster will continue to connect students
with the knowledge and tools they desire to shape the future of Uzbekistan, specifically
