In The SpotlightTuesday, January 30th marked the 56th birthday of His Majesty King Abdullah II, and was quite an exceptional day for the University of Jordan and Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II School of International Studies. UJ and the School had the distinct honor of receiving His Majesty King Abdullah II who came to meet with the students. About thirty graduate and undergraduate students gathered around the King, with the attendance of the UJ President and the school dean, and exchanged ideas on a variety of national, regional, and international topics, in a frank and cordial manner. His Majesty’s visit to UJ demonstrates not only His Majesty’s support and interest in the welfare of young Jordanians, but also specific ways and means of empowering them.
