After Tuesday's student and staff picnic day, alumni also joined the celebration week. Here is a brief overview in pictures.
On Wednesday, Bethlehem University opened the second International Conference on Christian-Muslim Relations…
…not only attracting a large audience from the whole of Palestine and abroad but also marking Bethlehem University’s 35 years of an excellent academic reputation and ongoing religious coexistence in the holy land.
On Thursday, the students who showed outstanding commitment during the past years were awarded in the Auditorium…
…where celebrations continued afterwards with a professional Dabkeh performance.
On Friday, it was alumni day. Hundreds of alumni, from the first students in the seventies to recent graduates, gathered on campus to have a hot basketball match against the student’s team…
…or a chat among old friends…
…and some participated in focus groups to share their experiences of life after university with present students.
The celebration week finished with a thanksgiving mass on Saturday night…
…where faculty and staff had a chance to look back on the past 35 successful years and ask for the Lord’s continued blessings in the coming decades.
