My dear students, and the academic and administrative members of the faculty of Arts. As a new academic year begins, it is my pleasure to offer you my warmest congratulations and best wishes for a successful year; one rich in achievement, crowned with success, and full of hope for a bright future. I would also like to welcome our new students, whom the faculty is proud to receive for the first time, as they become an important part of our academic community. It is my honor and delight to welcome you to this distinguished institution, where we hope the tireless, dedicated work that has marked it since its founding will continue, bringing in everything new and excellent in the humanities, and moving the faculty of Arts toward ever greater progress and distinction in both teaching and scholarly research.
