Last week was remarkable for the University! On Tuesday, 18 October 2016, the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the President were part of “This is Bahrain Rome” that visited His Majesty the King of Bahrain in Sakhir palace before the big event that’s is taking place in Rome in November to demonstrate that the Kingdom is the land of co-existence, tolerance and peace. The university is participating through a delegation of five people including one of our students. The Chairman and President had the privilege of presenting His Majesty with a gift which is a crystal prototype of our beautiful campus.

On Sunday 16 October, the President participated in a press conference that took place at the Golden Tulip to promote “This is Bahrain Rome”.  It is rewarding to see the excellent and active participation of the University in “this is Bahrain”. We have got a lot of publicity and it was good to see the strong participation of our students.

Many thanks to Dr Faiza, Mohamed, Dr Rawaya, Noora M, Tania, Bahaa, Belal, Noora K, Hala, Khadija, and other colleagues for their support of the University and their presence. I feel very proud that the University is playing a major role in “This is Bahrain, Rome” and helping implementing the vision of His Majesty the king in the area of co-existence and inter faith dialogues. It was also good to see Mr Mohamed Alkhaja, member of Board of Directors participating in the press conference.

I know for sure that Edyta has put a lot of effort to make sure that we are part of this exciting initiative and we will be the only university represented in Rome. I am grateful to Edyta for all her hard work and commitment and determination to include us in such a prestigious activity which is spearheaded by His Majesty the King.
