The ceremony began with the playing of the Iraqi national anthem, followed by the recitation of Surah Al-Fatiha in mercy for the souls of the martyrs, and then listening to verses from the Holy Qur’an. After that, the Dean of the College delivered an opening speech in which he emphasized the importance of providing a supportive and motivating university environment for students, which would undoubtedly contribute to refining their scientific and intellectual personalities. He also called on students to adhere to university regulations and instructions and to strive earnestly toward excellence and success. Subsequently, the floor was opened for artistic, literary, and creative contributions on various cultural and national themes, presented by a group of students.

The ceremony was moderated by Mr. Laith Al-Jawadi (representing the organizing body) and Mr. Ihab Al-Kasser (representing the students). It was attended by several members of the College Council, a number of faculty members, in addition to the honored students, as well as dozens who gathered and celebrated in the courtyard of the university’s second campus.
