Special Edition 

Dear Graduates, 

You came here this evening to celebrate the end of an important stage in your 

life characterized mainly by hard work, dedication and perseverance. You leave 

this building carrying an important document in your hand, a document that is 

proof of the timeless effort you put forth and the success you achieved. 

Within the walls of ALHOSN University you gained experience, wrote long 

assignments and took many exams. But that was not all; you gained an education 

which has prepared and equipped you for the upcoming challenges you will 

encounter as you go through life with an enlightened and an open mind. 


You leave Al Hosn at this stage with a qualification that you dreamt of. Not only 

that, you also leave the University with memories of friendships and acquaintances 

you made with fellow students, faculty, and staff. I am confident you will carry on 

in your pursuit for knowledge and experience, continuing your academic careers 

by either achieving your masters or PhD degrees. And it is, of course, a great honor 

you will look back and reminisce about your starting point here at ALHOSN. 


You will face many challenges and obstacles life throws in your way, but 

dear graduate you must bear in mind to be strong and not let them interfere in 

accomplishing your goals. You must reflect on what you can do to help and 

support those who surround you, to all those who have never once been slow 

to provide you everything within their power and, to those who showed concern 

and provided unsurpassed support, advice and help until you reached your goal 

successfully. 

We should always ask ourselves, what can we offer to our close, beloved ones 

who encouraged us, and how can we contribute to the well-being and happiness 

of those who are around us... 

Professor Abdul Rahim Sabouni
