Orientation for New Students 2017-2018

Dean of Students with the cooperation of all Faculties and different Departments and offices in the university, is organizing the Orientation Days for freshmen students which will take place on Wednesday, 16 and Thursday, 17 August 2017, from 8:30 am at  the Auditorium and BU campus.

More than one hundred students participated in a training workshop on Friday, 11 and Saturday, 12 August 2017 in order to leadership and guiding skills to 

welcome and help new students getting better acquainted in the general atmosphere of the university. We thank Mr. Rashid Arar who volunteered to make the training in the two days.

To this respect, Wajd musical group had intensive practices in order to be ready for the performance which will take place on Wednesday, 16 August, 2017 for the new students. We would like to mention that some of the new arrivals are musicians and will be participating in this performance. 

We hope that we all cooperate and work together in order to achieve the aims of the orientation, we thank BU family for their unlimited giving and continuous cooperation.
