On this occasion, the Dean of the College of Business Administration, Prof. Hatem bin Mahmoud Al-Masri, gave a speech. Dr. Al-Masri spoke about the importance of knowledge and the challenges facing knowledge seekers. He said, “You should seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave. This will not be easy, as you will face challenges all the time. However, you have everything you need to achieve your goals. The future may seem particularly daunting, but you have everything you need not only to succeed, but to be happy.”
Dr. Al-Masri added, “The Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has many negative impacts on us, but it has also taught us important lessons. It has taught us that we need each other so much and that we live not to challenge people, but rather to help them.” He pointed out that no one can choose the world in which he is born, but he can choose the world to which he can contribute.”
The graduation speech was given by graduate Ali Hassan Abdulnabi Salman from the College of Business Administration. Salman expressed the graduates’ pride in studying at the University of Bahrain. He said, “We, the graduates of the College, are proud of the University of Bahrain, which is a great scientific edifice that graduates generations who contribute to the development and renaissance of this great country, thanks to the great and continuous efforts of the university, under the presidency of Dr. Jawaher bint Shaheen Al-Mudhahka, to achieve the objectives of the University, for the service of the Kingdom of Bahrain. We have been supported by distinguished and qualified professors in all the administrative and academic fields, who spared no effort to carry out their noble mission honestly and efficiently.”
Hassan continued, “Our national university is still witnessing great developments in the academic programs, taking into account the requirements of the labor market and its need for highly qualified human resources. It has also strived to provide a modern scientific environment that serves students and contributes to increasing their academic achievement.”
The Vice President for Academic Programs and Scientific Research, Dr. Mohammad Reda Qader and the Dean of the College of Information Technology handed over the graduation certificates to the graduates, at the university’s premises in Sakhir.
