Message from the Vice President

With your help, we can continue our extraordinary legacy of helping students.

Dear friends of Bethlehem University,

In this uncertain time, one thing remains constant – around the world educational institutions are rallying to meet the unprecedented challenges created by the corona virus pandemic.

We, at Bethlehem University, continue our classes virtually. Our faculty and staff have adapted overnight to the complexities of online learning.

As the new Academic Year starts, we are happy to share with you that Bethlehem University achieved the highest intake of new students in its history. Our newly offered programs have been oversubscribed and highly competent students have been given entry to the university.

In the year 2023, Bethlehem University celebrates the 50th anniversary of its inception in the Holy Land. We celebrate the success stories of our students. We celebrate the kindness and trust established with our donors and partners. We celebrate the hope that has been nurtured and the peaceful coexistence that has always been maintained through the years amid trials and discomforts.

In this academic year, the Advancement Office of Bethlehem University focuses on:

Raising funds for urgent and important needs of the University.
Organizing two big events: The dedication of the Cardinal Foley Nursing Building and the Zbierski Library naming ceremony.
Mobilizing the Alumni of the University as we approach the Jubilee Celebration.
Facilitating the University’s initiative to revamp its strategic plan for a sustainable future

We will be sending you news on a monthly basis via our website and continue publishing the Bethlehem University News (BUN) twice a year, sending you the first one electronically and the second by mail.
With your help, we can continue our extraordinary legacy of quality education to meaningfully empower our students.

Thank you for your continued support of Bethlehem University.

May God bless you all

Brother Belayneh Medhanit, FSC, Ed.D.
Vice President for Advancement
