February 14 is always a significant time at RHU. This year it is a commemoration of the 12th annual memory of the assassination of Martyr Rafik Hariri. Marking this occasion on February 13, 2017 RHU President, Dr. Ahmad Smaili, together with faculty and staff members, planted a cedar tree at a location overseeing the beautiful valley of Mechref. This cedar would grow to be a living and breathing resemblance of the solid and unwavering principles and patriotism of Rafik Hariri.
