Loyal Graduates of the University of Jordan,

I speak to you today with a heart full of joy, pride, and happiness. My words come from the very soul of the university—reaching you across time and space—as I address those who, since the 1960s, have been prepared by this institution to carry its noble message.

I send you words filled with affection, love, belonging, and a deep sense of connection to your university, which takes immense pride in you as cherished members of one great family.

Each day at the University of Jordan, I witness the legacy you left behind—your perseverance, your studies, your challenges, and the details of your academic life. Your stories live on in every corner of this venerable campus. The university’s pathways, its trees and gardens, and its lecture halls all bear witness to your journey. They reflect the beauty you brought and the life the university offered you—life filled with empowerment and authentic knowledge. From here, you carried torches of light that now illuminate paths of hope across the world. You remain ever-present in the heart of the university. Though you left in body, your spirit stayed behind—sharing knowledge, promoting tolerance, and advancing thought.

Today, your university extends to you its greetings as it strides confidently toward global distinction—driven by the unwavering resolve and sincere determination of its faculty, staff, and students. You are the ones who shaped the identity and foundation of this institution, helping it strive toward its aspirations and goals. Among you are those who have reached excellence through their knowledge, those still striving to achieve their ambitions and triumphs, and those to whom I say: be unyielding in your dreams, unmodest in your aspirations—unleash your hidden potentials, for you are most capable of achieving greatness.

We remain faithful to our promise and committed to our mission: to ensure that your university continues to uphold noble values, offer comprehensive knowledge, and build human potential. I thank you for your continued connection and support. I invite you to stay close to your university—through your ideas, your encouragement, and your presence. Give back, even a small part, of what it gave you. Let your ongoing contributions help serve humanity and advance the greater good.
