In line with the University of Jordan's vision of caring for its graduates, stemming from His Majesty King Abdullah II's keen interest in addressing the youth, as when he addressed Jordanian youth saying, "Dear youth of Jordan, know that the future of the country is in your hands, and you are among its foremost creators. You bear this responsibility. Proceed in the march of construction, modernization, and prosperity. Jordan, all of Jordan, supports you in every step you take." The university has established frameworks for communication, motivation, and support to encourage graduates in their various professional fields.

This was followed by a speech from the Deputy Dean, Dr. Khalid Al-Jubour, who welcomed the successful students, esteemed guests, and expressed his pride in hosting such an event to honor a group of students whose excellence transcends the university boundaries, becoming ambassadors for the college and the university in various positions and centers.
