It’s the annual traditional acquaintance party!
Get off your seats and on your feet!

For where else can new students learn about NDU
And their fellow students meet?

Where else can faculty and staff let down their barriers,
And dance all night to the beat?

Where else can everyone enjoy a lovely meal,
While they chat, giggle and each other greet?

Where else can it be really cold outside, while inside
We’d bask glowing in the warmth of friendship and the sizzling heat?

It’s the event that no one should miss,
A night that is so special none other can beat!

The acquaintance party at NDU-SC took place on Friday, November 20, 2009 in the student lounge. It was organized by Br. Abdo Sleiman, SAO Assistant Director, with the help of the Music Club. The turn up this year was very impressive mostly because many alumni took this opportunity to drop by and relive the good old days!

The program was very rich. It started with the welcoming speech of Fr. Boutros Bou Nassif, Director, who expressed his happiness at seeing all the smiling faces; he wished everyone a prosperous year. Then the Student Cabinet representative, Mr. Bassil Bou Nasreddine, addressed the crowd and extended a helping hand to any new student who needed it. After the words, the program proceeded as planned uninterrupted:

-  Introducing the clubs at NDU-SC
-  Musical talents by new students: acoustic guitar players and a violinist entertained the guests
-  A slide show of the photos of the new students and their names with funny captions!
-  A one-man show who sang old and new Arabic songs while the audience “dabke” danced
-  The buffet opening time (the warm delicious food was served)
-  The very talented DJ who played the latest pop, rap, R & B and rock music!

It is worth mentioning that the sky that night was beautiful and starry, typical of the Deir El Qamar gorgeous autumn nights!
