In her valedictorian speech Lara Kasbari thanked family, friends, and the Brothers themselves, on behalf of the entire graduating class, "We thank you, Brothers, sincerely for all that you do with passion and dedication... Our remarkable journey was cultivated and enriched by the University's faculty and staff who we now consider a second family. Because Bethlehem University is not just an educational institution, it is a second home for us students that is built on love."
The Most Reverend Leopoldo Girelli, Apostolic Delegate to Jerusalem and Palestine and Chancellor of Bethlehem University, and Brother Peter Bray conferred the degrees and diplomas to the graduates on both days.
