Alumna Opens Dialogue Between Communities in Jerusalem<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Yumna Al-Jabari graduated from Bethlehem University in 2025 with a degree in English Language and Literature. Today, she works at The Jerusalem Foundation, helping launch the third year of the Bridging Horizons project for schools, which creates connections and brings students from different communities together to learn and grow.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing part of this journey has been inspiring,\u201d Yumna says. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to continue building bridges across communities and shaping the opportunities for a brighter future.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Yumna, this work builds directly on what she learned at BU. \u201cMy time at the university was more than academics. It was about learning resilience, building confidence, and discovering my potential,\u201d she reflects. \u201cThe skills, values, and mindset I gained allowed me to step into the professional world even before completing my degree, a testament to the strength of the university\u2019s programs and the trust employers place in its graduates.\u201d<\/p>\n

She chose Bethlehem University for its academic reputation and its diverse, discrimination-free environment. \u201cWhat I love most is the university\u2019s sense of unity,\u201d she says. That same commitment to unity now shapes her work in Jerusalem, where she\u2019s helping create spaces for dialogue and collaboration across communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cGraduating was not just the closing of one chapter,\u201d Yumna says. \u201cIt was the start of a journey that has shaped me in ways I could never have imagined. This journey has taught me that education is not only about earning a certificate; it’s about becoming someone ready to take on challenges, grow continuously, and contribute meaningfully.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yumna is deeply grateful to Bethlehem University for being a defining part of her story, and she\u2019s excited for another year full of impact in the heart of the Holy Land.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10684,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10,14],"class_list":["post-10683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-media-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10683"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10683\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10686,"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10683\/revisions\/10686"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bufusa.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
