FAYETTEVILLE — The more than 2, 400 students who graduated Saturday from the University of Arkansas must recognize they now live in a “global village,” said honorary degree recipient Jo Luck, president and CEO of Heifer International.
They are entering an increasingly shrinking world, where the forces of globalization are smashing down barriers and linking cultures.
Princess Areej Ghazi of Jordan served as an example of those cultural links as she walked the floor of Bud Walton Arena on Saturday morning.
Ghazi graduated with a doctorate in curriculum and instruction. She was born in Oman and studied in schools spread across the United States. She now lives in Jordan.
University officials believe she is the first princess to earn a degree from the school. Former Queen Noor of Jordan, the wife of King Hussein bin Talal who died in 1999, received an honorary degree from the university in 2001.
Ghazi’s husband, Prince Ghazi Bin Mohammed, is the personal envoy and special adviser to his first cousin King Abdullah II bin Al Hussein. Abdullah II is said to be the 43 rd-generation direct descendant of the Prophet Muhammad.
