    Haigazian University Recognizes its Women's Auxiliary - Beirut


    Beirut, 30/03/2007- Friday, a usual working day at Haigazian University, was
    happily interrupted to recognize and appreciate the devotion and selfless
    efforts of 12 distinguished ladies.

    The rooftop of Hotel Le Bristol, one of Beirut's most prestigious hotels was
    the venue, where President Haidostian invited the ladies of the Haigazian
    University Women's Auxiliary and their spouses, in addition to some Board
    members and representatives of the University to mark this special event.

    Long years ago, the Haigazian Women's Auxiliary was established as a
    voluntary organization of women, dedicated to encouraging interest in
    Haigazian University, rendering financial support to it, and promoting its
    mission in society, as it was noted by Mrs. Mira Yardemian, the Public
    Relations Director, in her opening speech.

    Yardemian also read a letter by Joyce Stein, representing the Women's
    Auxiliary Los Angeles, who thanked the ladies in Beirut for their faithful
    endeavors on behalf of the University. "Your devotion and extraordinary
    competence, has had enormous impact on the University and indeed you also
    play an important role in advancing Haigazian's fine reputation", said Stein
    in her letter.

    After the opening prayer, offered by Campus Minister, Rev. Nishan Bakalian,
    the audience enjoyed a lavish lunch and listened to the speech of Rev. Dr.
    Paul Haidostian, President of the University.

    "Haigazian's close ties with society, and its deep concern for the youth of
    Lebanon and their future describe a mission that goes much deeper than the
    minimum requirements for running and keeping a university. In my four and
    half years at Haigazian, I have come to appreciate with much respect, the
    honoring of the women and mothers of Lebanon every May, which has probably
    given the Haigazian Women's Auxiliary and the university in general a very
    high mark in society", acknowledged Haidostian.

    Haidostian also declared that the time has come for refreshing the working
    system, in order to prepare with confidence for future activities. "It is
    clear to me that we should work in smaller groups and sub-committees to
    accomplish the maximum", Haidostian noted.

    Afterwards, the President and Rev. Robert Sarkissian, Vice Chair of the
    Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees, honored the members with
    special trophies of appreciation.

    Finally, Mrs. Teny Hasserjian, Chair of the Beirut Women's Auxiliary,
    acknowledged the efforts of the ladies and their long years of service, and
    thanked the President by presenting him a trophy showing the fabulous Mugar
    building.
