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.
Dear Graduates, 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.
Dear Graduates,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...
