The Faculty of Information - Branch 2 celebrated the graduation of "Willpower Class”
The Faculty of Information - Branch 2 celebrated the graduation of 83 students as part of the “Class of Willpower” at a ceremony attended by President Bassam Badran, Faculty Dean Dr. Jocelyne Nader, Branch 2 Director Dr. Nisrine Zammar, University President Advisor Dr. Ali Rammal, members of the teaching and administrative staff, and the graduates’ families.
In his speech, President Badran spoke about the challenges facing the university and the tireless work being done to address them in the best interests of students. He noted the Lebanese University’s superiority over many other universities in terms of its global ranking and promised to resume student elections in various branches and specializations after they were suspended several years ago.
President Badran pointed out that the Lebanese University is not just an educational institution, but a microcosm of Lebanon as a whole, where young people from different regions and backgrounds come together under the umbrella of educational justice and cultural diversity.
Dean Nader considered credibility to be not a choice but an identity, and freedom of expression to be as much a responsibility as it is a right, noting that professional media is what advances nations and preserves human dignity.
Dean Nader emphasized the importance of openness to others because diversity protects difference, and humanity is a commitment to journalism as a mission.
Dr. Zammar called on graduates to think about the importance of making the most of their time and its value, the challenges facing academic achievement, and the need for competitiveness and passion to achieve goals and adapt to circumstances that are often unusual or less than ideal.
On behalf of the graduates, student Chloe Abi Nader emphasized that willpower is stronger than all circumstances and that Lebanese University students are capable of overcoming difficulties. She called for the restoration of democratic life at the Lebanese University through student elections.
