With great warmth and enthusiasm, we extend a heartfelt invitation to you to join us in celebrating the 70th Anniversary of Haigazian University at our Gala Banquet. This special event will take place on Wednesday, May 28th, 2025, at the Grand Ballroom of the Phoenicia Hotel, Beirut.
Our motto for this milestone year is “Inspiring Visionary Leadership,” reflecting the core values that have guided Haigazian University for seven decades.
For the past 70 years, Haigazian University has served as a vital institution of higher learning, providing a diverse student body with an education that prepares them for a balanced and confident future. We have seen tremendous growth in our student, staff, and faculty numbers. We have exponentially increased our budget, upgraded our services and facilities, and expanded our academic offerings. Today, we have reached a new, yet challenging milestone – securing a stable financial foundation that will ensure we continue serving the next generation of scholars with confidence and purpose.
There has never been a more critical time to support our students with the financial aid they need to succeed. Each year, Haigazian University grants substantial financial assistance to students in need, ensuring that a world-class education remains accessible. In keeping with our core values, most of the funds raised during this celebratory event will support our financial aid programs, enabling us to invest in the future of our students, whose success in the marketplace, society, and graduate programs worldwide is our greatest accomplishment.
