Fez – The Private University of Fez (UPF) hosted a memorable graduation ceremony yesterday, marking a major milestone for over 300 graduates.
The event was held at the conference hall of Sidi Mohammed Ben Abdellah University, bringing together students, faculty, staff, and families to celebrate the achievements of those who completed their academic journey.
The day was filled with a range of activities designed to honor the graduates and the hard work that took them to the finishing line of their academic journey. The ceremony opened with a speech by Professor Brahim Akdim, followed by a beautiful recitation of the Quran by Saloua Salman.
The UPF Harmony & Melody choir then led the crowd in the Moroccan national anthem, setting the tone for an emotional and proud day ahead.
As the ceremony continued, graduates from various fields of study were called to receive their diplomas.
Among them were students from diverse disciplines, including civil engineering, marketing, finance, and architecture, each marking the end of an academic chapter and the beginning of their professional journey.
The excitement was palpable as graduates stood proud, holding their hard-earned diplomas.
For many, this was a day to reflect on the challenges and obstacles overcome. “It was truly a rewarding year, though filled with many obstacles. But by the grace of God, Alhamdulillah, we made it,” one graduate said.
This sentiment echoed throughout the ceremony as students and their families celebrated their resilience and perseverance.
Along with the diploma presentation, the event included the prestigious Excellence Trophies, awarded to students who had excelled in academic, cultural, and extracurricular activities.
